It will be the first AFL game this season for the 200cm, 100kg, 20-year-old, following a frustrating run with injuries.
Griffiths last played for Richmond in Round 18, 2011, against Geelong at Etihad Stadium.
He’s been included in the Tiger line-up this week along with another key ‘tall’ in Ty Vickery, who has recovered from a calf strain that sidelined him for two matches.
The pair replaces Dylan Grimes, who is out with a hamstring injury, and Brad Miller, who has been omitted.
Richmond’s three emergencies for Saturday afternoon’s game are Miller, Matthew White and Addam Maric.
