Richmond has locked in the team that will face the Cats on Saturday afternoon at GMHBA Stadium, with three key inclusions for the clash.
Excitingly, Round 1 AFL Rising Star nominee Sam Lalor returns to the side, after overcoming his hamstring setback. It will be Lalor's first game since Dreamtime at the 'G in Round 12.
Alongside him, forwards Maurice Rioli and Tom Sims will return to the lineup, after strong VFL performances against the Northern Bullants last week.
The trio replace Tom Lynch (suspension), Mykelti Lefau (calf injury) and Steely Green (omitted) in the lineup.
