Richmond has recalled veteran ruckman Ivan Maric to its line-up for Friday night’s clash with Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.

Maric replaces Shaun Hampson, who aggravated the medial ligament in his right knee during the final minutes of last Saturday’s match against Brisbane at the MCG.

It will be just the third appearance at senior league level for Maric this year, and his first since the early-season encounter with Port at the MCG.

He has been a valuable contributor for Richmond’s VFL team, but with Hampson in career-best form, hadn’t managed to force his way back into the senior side, until now.

The Tigers have made one other change for the Round 15 match, with talented tall forward Ben Griffiths returning after missing the Round 14 victory over the Lions because of illness.
