The mullet is back.Ivan Maric will saddle up as Richmonds ruck this weekend for the first time in nine AFL rounds.The 30-year-old, once considered key to the Tigers on-field fortunes, has languished in the VFL this season and will play just his third senior match of the year on Friday night against Port Adelaide.Richmond coach Damien Hardwick said a touch of the flu and lingering effects of a knee knock would sideline rival tall Shaun Hampson for the Adelaide Oval match and give Maric his chance.Its great to have the big fella back, he said.Hes been in good form at VFL level ... were really confident hell come in and play well.While the fan favourite will resume in the battle of two sides looking to square their ledger at 7-7, Hardwick has warned him not to get too comfortable.Should Hampson return to fitness, he plans to rotate the pair as the Tigers look to gatecrash the finals.Shaun actually performed pretty well and Ivan was probably a little slow to get up and going, he said.He was injured through the pre-season and Shaun just grabbed that spot. Possession is nine tenths of the law.Sometimes you need a taller ruck; sometime you need more mobile. Well pick and choose when both are available.Daniel Rioli will also return this week but in Richmonds reserves outfit after missing last weeks win over Brisbane to attend his grandfathers funeral.Hardwick said hed given instructions to the livewire 19-year-old to get plenty of the ball.Well push him a little bit more on-ball so he can get some more touches (and) get his form back up to the level that wed like it to be, he said.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos traded a 2017 fifth-round pick to the rival New England Patriots in exchange for tight end A.J. Derby.To make room, they released veteran safety Shiloh Keo for the second time this season.Derby was a sixth-round draft pick out of Arkansas last year and has played in four games for the Patriots this season after spending his rookie season on IR.Playing behind Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett, Derby played just 36 snaps. But his preseason production -- 15 receptions for 189 yards, a TD -- is roughly what the Broncos tight ends have managed this season.Virgil Green, John Phillips and Jeff Heuerman have a ccombined 17 catches for 183 yards and a touchdown.ddddddddddddBroncos GM John Elway called Derby a young tight end who can help us immediately.This is the second consecutive year that Elway has acquired a tight end just before the trade deadline. Last year it was veteran Vernon Davis, who ended up not helping them out as much as theyd hoped. He caught 20 passes for 201 yards in the regular season but had zero receptions in the playoffs.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
