Richmond has made three changes to their line-up to face the Gold Coast SUNS in round 12 at the MCG this Sunday.

After a heavy defeat to North Melbourne last week in Hobart, the Tigers have named midfielder Reece Conca for his first senior appearance of 2016.

The team’s defensive stocks have also been bolstered by the inclusion of Dylan Grimes. Handy utility Jayden Short has also been included in the team.

Jake Batchelor and Troy Chaplin have been omitted while Steve Morris is out with a season ending knee injury.
