Richmond has made two changes ahead of Dreamtime at the 'G against Essendon this Friday night.
Excitingly, Jasper Alger returns after overcoming his knee injury. Alger kicked five goals in the VFL season-opener before being included in the AFL team the next week against the Dockers, where he got injured. The small forward returns for his sixth AFL game and first on the Dreamtime stage.
Alger is joined in the inclusions by Mykelti Lefau, who was managed last week.
The duo replace Campbell Gray (hamstring) and Liam Fawcett (omitted).
