SAM RUSSELL will play his first AFL-level game as substitute when one of Port Adelaide’s least experienced sides takes on the Tigers in Albury this afternoon.
After the omissions of Ollie Wines and Matt Lobbe were revealed overnight, the club has also taken Tom Jonas and Jarman Impey out of the side.
Meanwhile Richmond has excluded Shaun Hampson, Matt McDonough and Matt Arnot from its side and named Liam McBean and Todd Elton as subs.
The game gets underway at 4:40pm (AEDT) with live broadcast on FOX Footy and FIVEaa (1395AM in SA).
