Richmond ruckman Andrew Browne has been selected to play his first game of the 2010 season this weekend, and the second of his AFL career.

The 20-year-old is one of six inclusions to the Richmond team for the Round 17 clash with Collingwood on Saturday at the MCG.

Browne earned his spot in the team after several impressive performances for Coburg in the VFL.

He has been recalled along with Mitch Morton, Dean Polo, Alex Rance, Jayden Post and Ben Nason.

The Tigers were forced to make four changes, with Trent Cotchin suspended and Kel Moore, Matt White and Will Thursfield failing to recover from injuries.  Richard Tambling and Ty Vickery were omitted.
