Richmond have made three changes ahead of their clash with the Gold Coast SUNS at Metricon Stadium this Saturday.

The Tigers have added rebounding defender Bachar Houli, who returns from suspension.

Midfielder Anthony Miles and young small forward Shai Bolton also come into the team.

Jack Riewoldt has been ruled out, with the full-forward suffering an eye injury at training.

This will be the first game that Riewold has missed since the end of the 2013 season, having played 86 consecutive games since then.

Former Gold Coast player Dion Prestia will also miss the game, having succumbed to knee soreness.

Small defender Jayden Short has been omitted.

The Tigers have listed Jake Batchelor, Sam Lloyd and Todd Elton as their three emergencies.
