Richmond has recalled the forgotten Andrew Mills for Sunday’s MCG clash against Hawthorn.
Mills has spent the entire 2003 season in the VFL and has played just 13 AFL matches since his debut in 2000.
The Tigers also recalled Rory Hilton and promoted promising youngster Jay Schulz as they bid to win only their second game since round eight.
That trio replace the injured Ben Holland as well as veteran Matthew Rogers and former Hawk Bill Nicholls, who were both omitted.
Hawthorn welcomed back star duo Ben Dixon and Jonathan Hay from injury.
That pair replaced Brett Johnson and Adrian Cox, who were both omitted.
Dixon was named on the Hawks’ finalised interchange bench along with Nick Holland, Nathan Lonie and Steven Greene.
