FOR THE second week in a row, Richmond won’t have a debutant in the side at the MCG this weekend.
Jayden Post, Jarrod Silvester and Ty Vickery played their first AFL games in caretaker coach Jade Rawlings first three weeks. But the trend stopped there.
Tall defender Kel Moore is out of the side with a corked calf picked up in the loss to Carlton last weekend.
But given the Tigers face North Melbourne on Sunday that is the only change so far. Richmond named an extended 25-man squad that will be culled to 22 on Friday night.
Four players were added to last week's team – midfielder Mark Coughlan, ruckman Adam Pattison, tall defender Silvester and running half-back Jordie McMahon.
"They've all shown good form at VFL level," Tigers football manager Ross Monaghan told richmondfc.com.au.
"They've all be there about for a number of weeks – Jarrod's probably the anomaly, where he went up and then went back for one."
Two Tigers are due to celebrate milestones this week with Brett Deledio playing his 100th and Matty White his 50th.
