Richmond has locked in its team that will head to Sydney to take on GWS at ENGIE Stadium this Saturday afternoon.

Excitingly, the side is headlined by the inclusion of Dion Prestia, who will play his first senior game of 2025 this weekend following a successful VFL return last week.

Tom Lynch (concussion) and Toby Nankervis (managed) return to the side, alongside Tyler Sonsie, who has been recalled after a dominant VFL stint.

Sonsie collected a game-high 37 touches in the VFL's 22-point win over Essendon in Dreamtime last weekend, following another match-high 37 disposals the week before against North Melbourne.

Veteran Tiger Prestia, who will play game 226 on Saturday, notched up 20 disposals and kicked a goal on his VFL return under managed minutes.

The quartet of ins replace Sam Lalor (injured), Thomson Dow (injured), Samson Ryan (omitted) and Maurice Rioli (omitted).

Ben Miller, Campbell Gray, Nathan Broad, Luke Trainor, Tom Brown and Nick Vlastuin make up the back six.

In the forward half of the ground is Jack Ross, Seth Campbell, Rhyan Mansell, Tom Sims, Lynch and Jonty Faull.

Nankervis returns to his spot in the middle, alongside Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto as followers. Prestia joins Hugo Ralphsmith and Sam Banks on the centreline.

The interchange is made up of Kaleb Smith, Kamdyn McIntosh, Kane McAuliffe, Sonsie and Steely Green, one of which will be named substitute an hour before the first bounce.
