Richmond has finalised its team that will take on West Coast at the MCG on Sunday afternoon.
SCROLL DOWN FOR THE FULL RICHMOND ROUND 9 TEAM.
As announced earlier on Friday afternoon, key forward Tom Sims will make his AFL debut in the clash.
Sims was drafted by Richmond with pick 28 last year and has made an instant impact at Punt Road since his arrival.
The teenager can operate as a tall forward who is dangerous inside 50, and can also provide ruck support when required.
He has been promising at VFL level, kicking two goals and taking five marks in the Round 1 win over Coburg.
Additionally, Kane McAuliffe has earned his spot back in the senior side, after impressive VFL performances over the last few weeks.
McAuliffe collected 23 disposals in the Round 6 win over Box Hill, and before that, he had 26 touches against Frankston.
Sims and McAuliffe will replace Maurice Rioli and James Trezise (omitted).
The forward line will remain with Jack Ross, Rhyan Mansell, Steely Green, Seth Campbell, Tom Lynch and Jonty Faull.
The back six also stays the same, with Ben Miller, Noah Balta, Nick Vlastuin, Jayden Short, Tom Brown and Nathan Broad.
Through the centre will be Thomson Dow, Sam Lalor and Hugo Ralphsmith. Skipper Toby Nankervis, Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper are the followers.
The interchange is made up of Sam Banks, Luke Trainor, Kamdyn McIntosh, Sims and McAuliffe. One of those five will be named the substitute an hour before the first bounce.
Trezise, Tyler Sonsie and Jasper Alger are the emergencies.
