Richmond will road trip to Bendigo with 17 AFL-listed players in its VFL team for this Saturday night’s match against Bendigo Gold.

Skilful small forward Sam Lloyd comes into the team, and Shaun Hampson returns from minor injury to make up a strong Richmond VFL side.

Although out of finals contention, the VFL Tigers are keen to finish their season strongly and get back on the winner’s list after a disappointing 13-point loss to Sandringham last weekend.

The Saturday night match will start at 6:30pm at Queen Elizabeth Oval, Bendigo. 2014 Richmond members can access the game for $5, non-member price is $10 Adults, $5 concession, and children under 15 years are free.

As always, Richmond VFL Radio will call the game, tune in via Richmond’s smartphone app, or richmondfc.com.au.
