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.

WASHINGTON -- The former girlfriend of NASCAR driver Kurt Busch was charged Tuesday with stealing from a military charity she led.Court documents dont say how much prosecutors believe Patricia Driscoll took from the District of Columbia-based Armed Forces Foundation, whose mission is to support service members, veterans and their families.But a 2014 tax form for the nonprofit says that the foundation has become aware of suspected misappropriations by Driscoll totaling more than $599,000 for the years 2006 to 2014. It says she misused money for meals, travel, parking tickets, makeup and personal gifts.Driscoll was indicted on seven federal charges: two counts each of wire fraud, mail fraud, and tax evasion, and one count of attempts to interfere with administration of Internal Revenue laws. She also faces a first degree fraud charge under District of Columbia law.An 11-page indictment charges Driscoll with using foundation money to pay her personal bills, diverting foundation funds to her personal bank account and lying to the Internal Revenue Service about her salary and benefits.Driscoll, 38, of Ellicott City, Maryland, declined to comment when reached by phone Tuesday.All the allegations that have been made are unproven, and Ms. Driscoll contests them and looks forward to her opportunity to do so in courtt, her attorney, Barry J.dddddddddddd Pollack, said Tuesday evening.Driscoll had resigned from the charity in 2015 amid an internal investigation into published reports alleging that she used foundation funds for her personal expenses. At the time she left, she had been president of the foundation for 12 years.Driscoll and Bush had a very public breakup in 2014 after she accused him of physically and verbally abusing her about a week after they split. Driscoll said Busch smashed her head into a bedroom wall and choked her in his motorhome at Dover International Speedway in Delaware. Law enforcement officials said there was not enough evidence to bring criminal charges against him, but a family court commissioner in the state ultimately granted her request for a protective order requiring Busch to stay away from her.As a result, NASCAR suspended Busch two days before the Daytona 500. He sat out the first three races of the 2015 season before being reinstated.---Associated Press writer Randall Chase contributed to this report from Delaware.---Follow Jessica Gresko on Twitter at http://twitter.com/jessicagresko.
