Richmond’s VFL team will be looking to return to the winners’ list when it takes on Box Hill this weekend.
The Tigers had their winning run halted by Sandringham last week, and face a Hawks team which sits equal top of the VFL ladder after 15 rounds.
Richmond’s task has become tougher with the loss of Reece Conca, who has been called up to the senior team after picking up 28 disposals last weekend.
Youngster Corey Ellis will also be missing from last week’s team, as he nurses a foot injury.
In all, 14 AFL-listed players have been selected in Richmond’s squad.
While Box Hill is one of the form teams of the competition, the Hawks have lost two of their last three games, including last week’s loss to Werribee.
The game will kick off at 2pm this Saturday, August 1, at Box Hill City Oval.
