Tigers summon ex-Port onballer in AFL

Former Port Adelaide midfielder Andrew Moore will debut for Richmond in Friday night's AFL game against West Coast.

Moore, cut from the Power at the end of last season after six seasons and 55 games for the South Australian club, is one of two inclusions in the Tigers' side, with Taylor Hunt also recalled.

The duo replace omitted pair Anthony Miles and Jayden Short for the clash against an unchanged Eagles side.

Richmond enter the fixture under a spotlight after consecutive losses but coach Damien Hardwick has called for calm.

"We're only three games in ... it's a very small sample size that people are making a lot of assumptions over," he told reporters on Thursday.

"We could have quite easily been two-one but we're not so our backs are up against it at the moment.

"But we're pretty confident our best footy is not far away."
