Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has confirmed the Tigers will be without lead ruckman Ivan Maric for Friday night’s AFL clash with West Coast.
Maric resumed from a back injury in the VFL last week but his bid to play against the Eagles was hampered by the short break between that match and Friday’s game at Domain Stadium.
Hardwick spoke to reporters from Melbourne Airport on Thursday and said his side would travel to Perth confident of turning their season around, having won their past three matches there.
