Richmond's VFL team will head out to RSEA Park to take on St Kilda this Sunday, with a plethora of fresh faces in tow.

Excitingly, it will be Sam Cumming's first official hit out for the Club, as he continues to overcome his shoulder setback sustained in the pre-season.

The midfielder was selected with pick seven in the 2025 AFL Draft, and has shown promise in his limited game time against Essendon and Melbourne in the AFL pre-season.

Round 3 will also see the VFL debut of Daniel Lowther, who joined the program in the pre-season.

Standing at 199cm tall, the Geelong Falcons product boasts an elite marking ability and a proven talent for kicking goals.

The pair join Reuben Hanson, James Trezise and Joel Garner as inclusions. They will replace Liam Fawcett, Samson Ryan and Kane McAuliffe, who have all been called into the AFL side, and Austin Johnson, who has been managed.

Josh Gibcus also comes out of the team due to soreness, with the view of the key defender being available for selection next week.

Vice-captain Mutaz El Nour takes his spot in the backline, alongside Zaydyn Lockwood, Tom McKenzie, Nick Collier, Hanson and Kaleb Smith.

Oliver Hayes-Brown resumes in the ruck, with followers Harry Scott and Cumming. Trezise, skipper Lachlan Street and Patrick Retschko make up the centreline.

The forward line will include vice-captain Garner in his first hit out of the season, supported by Zane Peucker, Tom Burton, Noah Roberts-Thomson, Sam Toner and Lowther.

Tom Ferguson, Liam George, Ned Renfree, Leo Connolly and Olli Hotton make up the interchange.

The emergencies are Mohammed Yassine, Zane Greenham and Caleb Nancarrow.

The Round 3 clash is set for 1.05pm (AEST) this Sunday with the game live streamed on the AFL website.

All matches in the 2026 Smithy’s VFL and VFLW seasons will be live streamed free via the AFL website and the AFL Live Official App and VFL App.
