Richmond has finalised its VFL playing list for the 2015 season.

The 24-player squad includes new captain Jaryd Cachia, who crossed from AFL club Carlton in the off-season.

Among the big names returning for the second season with the Tigers’ standalone VFL side are Ed Barlow, James Wall, Ryan Bathie, Luke Conca, Nick Wynne and Pat Contin.

In all, 11 players have remained on the list from the 2014 season, including playing development coach Andrew McQualter.

Of the new crop to arrive at the ME Bank Centre, Bendigo VFL duo Devin McFarlane and Jake Aarts are expected to make a positive impact, while Anthony Scott, Thomas Silvestro and Nick Mellington are highly-rated youngsters from the TAC Cup competition.
