Richmond coach Adem Yze says Noah Balta will return to the senior side after missing last week's clash with Melbourne due to his court-imposed curfew.
Last week, Balta was penalised for his off-season assault charge, which included being inside his home at 10pm, meaning all night matches will be off limits.
However, Sunday's clash against Hawthorn will start at 3.20pm (AEST) at the MCG.
"He's in a good spot," Richmond coach Adem Yze said on Thursday ahead of his team's main training session.
"He had a great session over the weekend, and he's had a great week on the track.
"He's such a good teammate, the players love having him part of the group, and he's a leader out there.
"He's had a nice week, and he's ready to go."
Balta proved his worth in his sole outing to date against Gold Coast in Round 6, when the Tigers upset the finals contenders at Marvel Stadium. He limited Ben King to one goal and four disposals.
Yze and his men will also be out to "spoil" Hawthorn's party as they bring up their 100th year in the competition to the day, after first facing one another on May 2, 1925.
The Hawks ruined Richmond legend Dustin Martin's 300th game milestone in front of 92,000 at the MCG last year.
"It's a bit ironic," said Yze, who was a premiership-winning assistant coach with Hawthorn under Alastair Clarkson.
"In Dusty's 300th, we played against the Hawks, and they spoiled the party that day, so it might be a bit of payback (this week)."
