Richmond is hatching a team defensive plan to contain Fremantle superstar Nat Fyfe, with Tigers spearhead Jack Riewoldt conceding no single player can stop the runaway Brownlow Medal favourite in his current form.
One bookmaker has already paid out on Fyfe winning the game's highest individual honour and the Dockers jet responded with another best-on-ground display in an enthralling head-to-head battle with Adelaide's Patrick Dangerfield on Saturday night.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Riewoldt said the Tigers needed a team effort to curb Fyfe's influence in a tough trip to Domain Stadium to face the undefeated Dockers on Friday night.

"Yeah, we're going to tag him with every player we've got," Riewoldt joked.
"No, look, he's such a great player, he's so good at clearances [second in the AFL, 8.7 per game], but he's also nearly leading the AFL in contested marks [equal fourth, 2.3]. So he's such a hard player to play on, but for us it's about team defence, we're not going to focus on one individual.
"There's another 21 guys out there who are playing great footy for them as well. We need to play really good team defence game and then obviously try and hurt them on offence as well."
Riewoldt said Richmond would take some confidence from beating Port Adelaide on the road and winning its past two matches at Domain Stadium, although both triumphs came against West Coast.
The Tigers haven't beaten the Dockers on their home turf since 2009.
"It's going to be a great test for us. Domain Stadium has obviously been a little bit of a happy hunting ground for us, we've played some pretty good footy over there over the last three or four years," Riewoldt said.
"Offensively it's going to be a game of inches for us, trying to find every little inch and play the way we want to play and hopefully that can hold us in good stead for the final result."
