Richmond has added five players to its extended squad for Sunday's clash with Greater Western Sydney at the MCG, headlined by midfielder Dion Prestia.
The 31-year-old is on track to return against the Giants after he was sidelined for the past two games due to a calf injury.
Young key forward Samson Ryan, fresh off signing a new three-year deal, is also in the mix to return from a syndesmosis injury.
Cub trio Thomson Dow, James Trezise and Steely Green are in the frame for recalls after solid performances in the VFL Tigers' 95-point win over the Northern Bullants last Sunday.
Trezise racked up 28 disposals at 93% disposal efficiency and nine rebound-50s, while Dow collected 23 disposals, six clearances and three inside-50s, and Green booted two goals.
Out of the squad is first-year Tiger Kane McAuliffe, who has been omitted, and fellow youngster Seth Campbell, who is being managed.
The Tigers will confirm their final Round 18 team on Friday night at 5.00pm AEDT.
Sunday's clash at the 'G will be the Club's annual Alannah & Madeline Foundation match.
