Richmond have started to make big changes after their poor start to the season and last week's 75-point thrashing by dropping Joel Bowden, who has not been dropped since Round 5, 1998.
Bowden started every game last season and ranked second in disposals for the club.
However, after playing reasonable football in the opening three matches of the season Bowden sunk to a very low-grade style of football in Rounds 4 and 5.
Also dropped from the Tiger's squad were Ty Zantuck and Shane Morrison.
