NEW coach Damien Hardwick's metamorphosis at Richmond continued last night at the selection table with the inclusion of first-gamer Ben Griffiths, against Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium tomorrow.
Amazingly, the teenage key forward will complete the introduction to the elite level of all seven of Richmond's selections in last year's national draft.
Griffiths, 18 and almost 200cm tall, is a quick, powerful athlete and thumping kick, according to the Tigers. He will be Richmond's eighth AFL debutant under Hardwick and the 37th player used at senior level this season.
Griffiths was the Tigers' second selection in the November draft at pick No 19 overall, and will follow in the footsteps of Dustin Martin, David Astbury, Matt Dea, Troy Taylor, Jeromey Webberley and Ben Nason, to have all made their AFL debut in the first 10 rounds of the season.
