Ben Reid will play his first match for 2017 against Richmond in Moe on Saturday.

The star defender sat out the first two games of the pre-season, but will enjoy the chance to have a proper hitout against the Tigers.
Reid underwent surgery to repair his posterior cruciate ligament at the end of last season, and has steadily worked his way back to full health across the summer.
The 2011 All-Australian won't be the only Magpie appearing for the first time this year.
Tim Broomhead will play his first match in the senior jumper since May 2016.
The 22-year-old battled shoulder problems throughout the 2016 season but is now ready to return to senior level.
He has played only 21 senior games in four years, but his class and poise have the potential to add something unique to the Collingwood midfield and attacking half.
Also selected is ruckman Brodie Grundy, who received a corked calf during training earlier this week.
