Richmond's Jack Ross is available for selection this week in a big boost for Richmond after two concussions in six weeks resulted in an indefinite period on the sidelines.
The Tigers communication has been that they would take no risks with him given he does have a history of concussion, but his return this weekend means he missed just the two games.
An emerging leader at Tigerland, he has been one of the big improvers under coach Adem Yze and played a critical hand in the midfield this season, averaging 22 disposals for the one-win cellar dwellers.
"We took the cautious approach of giving Jack Ross the extra week off, following his two concussions in six weeks," Richmond's injury report read.
"He had a really strong week on the track in both our main training (Friday) and Sunday's rehab session. So, he will train again this week and put his hand up for Saturday night's game."
Tall utility Noah Balta, meanwhile, is set to miss with a toe injury after an incident on Sunday.
"Noah Balta had an awkward landing during a contest in Sunday's game. He was aware of some toe pain right away, but was able to finish the game," the injury report read.
"It has pulled up pretty swollen this week, so he is currently in a moon boot out of caution.
"We will continue to assess Noah throughout the week before providing a further update, but we are not expecting him to play on Saturday night."
Meanwhile, Taj Hotton will be available for selection after landing awkwardly in a marking contest and spending considerable time on the bench in the last quarter with an ankle concern.
