PORT Adelaide has lost four key players as Richmond regains its biggest gun ahead of their pressure-packed clash at the MCG on Saturday night.

Robbie Gray (hamstring) and Chad Wingard (concussion) are both out along with key defender Jackson Trengove (suspended), and the Power has dropped underperforming ruckman Matthew Lobbe.

The under-siege Tigers have named Brett Deledio and insist he will play his first game of the season and Shaun Hampson returns from injury to partner Ivan Maric in the ruck.

Alex Rance (suspended) and Jacob Townsend are out.

Port, also under huge pressure, has included Nathan Krakouer for his first game of the season after he was handed a five-week club suspension after a pre-season altercation in Perth that left him with a broken jaw.

In other team news, Sydney has named former Sudanese refugee Aliir Aliir for his AFL debut alongside Swans academy product Jack Hiscox, Hawthorn has included its top draft pick Kieran Lovell for his first game, Christian Petracca will debut for Melbourne and Ben Keays will play his first AFL game for Brisbane.

Collingwood lost Travis Varcoe (hamstring) and included Ben Sinclair, Tim Broomhead, Tom Langdon and Matthew Goodyear, Geelong regained Lachie Henderson and rested Tom Ruggles and Gold Coast has been by more injuries with Michael Rischitelli (shoulder) and Adam Saad (hip) out of the team to face the Cats.

The Bulldogs have replaced injured defender Matthew Suckling with Fletcher Roberts and North Melbourne is unchanged for their Friday night blockbuster.

Robbie Gray confirmed out. Expected to miss 2-3 with hamstring.
Tigers must take their chance.
