Damien Hardwick has challenged forward Tyrone Vickery to make sure Saturday's six-goal performance isn't a one-hit wonder.
Vickery was best on ground in the Tigers' 91-point win over Collingwood on Saturday at the MCG, with Jack Riewoldt allowing him the space to play as the Tigers' dominant key forward.
While Hardwick agreed it would give the often-maligned Vickery a confidence boost ahead of finals, he called on the 25-year-old to not get carried away.

"His next game is his most important game," Hardwick said.
"He can sit there and enjoy it for what it is tonight but the fact of the matter is, he's got to perform on a weekly basis.
"We expect him to, he's been doing a whole lot of work on his contested marking and his goalkicking, and we saw the benefits of that today.
"That game's now in the bank and we move on pretty quickly to Essendon and that's where we're looking for his next performance to come from.”
As has often been the case this season Riewoldt pushed up the ground as a more mobile forward option, which saw him deliver just two goals.
But he also contributed with four scoring assists and six inside 50s in a performance that pleased his coach.
"I thought Jack played a really selfless role," Hardwick said.
"The way he moved around and gave Ty space was really important for that, and once again it was a real leaders game, which Ty benefited from."
The Tigers won the contested ball count by three, which was an aim going into the game, but again fell short in tackles after dominating possession in a lopsided final term.
Despite the large winning margin, Hardwick said they can still get better.
"We're starting to get some consistency in our performance," he said.
"We still feel we've got some areas of improvement we'd like to get better in so we've got some work to do still.
"We got penned in a little bit in defensive 50 today, which we were probably a little bit disappointed in so we'll just have to look at that and work through.
"There's some areas of our game we're not quite doing at the level we'd like, which is a little bit frustrating.
"Unfortunately, when you win in the manner we did today, those sorts of things creep into your game so we've got to make sure we smack those out of our group and get back to playing the style of footy that suits us."
Hardwick said Shane Edwards was subbed off for management purposes, and expected Ivan Maric and Chris Newman to be available for next Saturday night's clash with Essendon.
Maric suffered suspected a suspected broken nose in the first quarter and Newman cramped in his right hamstring before three-quarter time.
Both players finished the game.
