JLT clash at University of Tasmania Stadium
Published on 08 March 2019
Richmond and Hawthorn have named near full-strength line-ups for their JLT clash at University of Tasmania Stadium in Launceston on Saturday night - with superstar Dustin Martin named to play for the Tigers.
The 2017 premiers made two changes to the team that beat Melbourne by two goals in Shepparton on Sunday.
Kamdyn McIntosh and Connor Menadue come into the side, replacing Brandon Ellis and Riley Collier-Dawkins, who were both named as emergencies.
Brownlow medallist Martin was named at full-forward for the Tigers, while up-and-coming draftee Jack Ross and former Burnie Docker Mav Weller, who was recruited from St Kilda, have remained in the side after impressing last week against the Demons.
Meanwhile, Hawthorn has welcomed back a host of senior players in the club’s second JLT clash.
The Hawks named the likes of Jarryd Roughead, Shaun Burgoyne and newly-appointed captain Ben Stratton in their 22, while James Cousins, Mitch Lewis, Oliver Hanrahan, Jack Scrimshaw and Dylan Moore are among those who have held the spot in the side after impressive outings against the Lions last week.
The match on Saturday night kicks off at 7.10pm.
Tickets are available from the Ticketmaster website or at the gate on the night.
All general admission tickets include free seating in the Northern, Southern and Eastern terraces.
Entry is free for AFL club members.
Richmond will train today (Friday) from 2.45pm, while Hawthorn will train from 5pm.
Club merchandise stands will be available on the night.
Richmond merchandise will be available at Gate 7, with Hawthorn's merchandise stand will be located at Gate 3.
