The clock will be turned back at Tigerland this Friday evening with Punt Road Oval hosting a full-scale VFL practice match between the Coburg Tigers and the Box Hill Hawks.

With AFL rules forbidding inter-club practice matches the week before the premiership season kicks off, this VFL trial will provide a number of Richmond players with some much-needed game time in the lead-up to Round 1.

The likes of Duncan Kellaway, Ty Zantuck and Billy Nicholls will line up for the Coburg Tigers.

Richmond sought -- and received - special permission from the AFL to allow those players to make an appearance for the Coburg Tigers on Friday evening due to the fact their pre-seasons had been interrupted because of injury.

"This will be a great opportunity for Tiger fans to come down to Punt Road Oval and watch a game at the famous ground," said Richmond's Football Manager Greg Hutchison.

"They'll also get the chance to watch some of our boys push for senior selection in our Round 1 side. Hawthorn also will have a few senior players in the Box Hill side, so it shapes as a pretty interesting game."

The match is scheduled to start at 5pm and entry is free.

And an excellent opportunity for Duncan to get acquanted with new teamates.
