RICHMOND fans will get their first look at headline recruits Dion Prestia and Josh Caddy when the Tigers take on Adelaide at Etihad Stadium on Friday night.
The Tigers will unveil the pair, alongside ruckman Toby Nankervis, after the trio made the club's final squad of 26 for the Crows clash.
Prestia has overcome the knee injury that dogged his final year at the Gold Coast to be ready for the club's first JLT Community Series game, while ex-Cat Caddy and former Swan Nankervis are expected to make an immediate impact.
Jacob Townsend, Nathan Broad and Mabior Chol were left out of Richmond's extended squad, which was named earlier in the week.
The Crows also have some new faces, with draftee Myles Poholke making his debut and former Greater Western Sydney running defender Curtly Hampton lining up for the club for the first time after missing last year with injury.
Hugh Greenwood, Dean Gore and Paul Hunter were cut from the Crows' squad of 29 ahead of the pre-season contest.
