Richmond fans will get their first look at Mate Colina and Jacob Bauer this Wednesday night when the pair play their first games in the Yellow and Black through the VFL. 

Following last weekend's bye, the VFL Tigers will take on Werribee at the Swinburne Centre under lights, the clash kicking off at 7.35pm. 

Colina made his return to Tigerland last month after graduating from the University of Hawaii where he played division-one basketball.

The 213cm ruckman, who is also the cousin of fellow Tiger Noah Balta, signed with Richmond in September 2020 as a Category B rookie and spent last year honing his football craft.

Bauer will run out as a Tiger one week after being signed by the Club as its selection in last Wednesday's mid-season rookie draft.

The tall forward, 19, arrived at Richmond after kicking 16 goals in just six games in the SANFL this season, averaging nine disposals and five score involvements per game.

Nineteen AFL-listed Tigers have been named in Richmond's squad for the clash, including Maurice Rioli, Jason Castagna, Sydney Stack, Riley Collier-Dawkins and Thomson Dow.

Richmond VFL will be looking to get back on the winners' list following a narrow four-point loss to Sydney in Round 10, while Werribee will be hoping to claim its third victory on the trot.
