Richmond’s VFL team will look to cover the loss of three AFL-listed players who were called up to the senior team this weekend.

For Saturday’s Anzac Day clash with Frankston, the VFL Tigers will be without Matt Arnot, Nathan Drummond and Matt McDonough, who were elevated to the AFL team.

In their place are some handy inclusions, led by the experienced Andrew McQualter and Pat Contin, and first-year Tiger Connor Menadue.

The Tigers will look to gain advantage in the midfield, through the likes of Shaun Hampson, Nathan Foley and Jaryd Cachia.

Richmond suffered a first-up loss to Coburg in Round 1 by 15 points, while Frankston was defeated by Casey.

Richmond’s VFL Twitter page will provide live, rolling coverage of the game on Saturday.
