Richmond midfielder Shaun Grigg makes his return from injury to boost the Tigers’ VFL team in Saturday’s crucial battle with ladder-leader Port Melbourne.

Grigg is one of 17 AFL-listed players named for Richmond, including the three AFL emergencies – Matt McDonough, Liam McBean and Matt Dea.

McBean is in red-hot form, having kicked nine goals in his last two games, including a bag of four in his last start against Geelong.

The game is being held at the ME Bank Centre, a day after the AFL team’s match in Perth against West Coast, giving Tiger fans the perfect opportunity to see Richmond in action live.

And, a friend or family member of a Richmond member will be able to gain access to the ground for free.

The game will also be broadcast live on ABC TV from 1.10pm.

The Tigers’ VFL team is gunning for its third win in-a-row, as it battles to keep its 2014 season alive.
