ON THE BLOCK: No one deserves to be on the block after another outstanding display against Hawthorn on the weekend - a fourth straight win. But the fact of the matter is that Jack Riewoldt is likely to return so at least one unlucky Tiger is going to have to make way. Given it was a smaller side that dismantled the Hawks, could it be either of Ivan Soldo or Toby Nankervis? Not likely, if coach Damien Hardwick’s comments are anything to go by. It means that one of the side’s plethora of small forwards would be most likely to make way for Jumping Jack.

ON THE CUSP: Riewoldt hurt his eye in a training mishap leading into the Gold Coast game. But just try holding him back for what shapes as a season-defining clash against Geelong on Saturday. “He was pretty close this week,” Damien Hardwick said. The Richmond VFL side had a bye so there’s no one from there really pushing their cause. Only Steven Morris (hamstring) is any chance to join Riewoldt in coming off the injury list.

MATT WINDLEY’S FORECAST: Are the Tigers a certainty for top four? It’s looking that way after Sunday’s huge win over Hawthorn and the best part about the victory was it came without Riewoldt. Saturday’s clash with Geelong is going to be big and with the Cats to be without Joel Selwood, there has never been a better time for Richmond to snap its 12-game losing streak against Geelong. Riewoldt will likely come in for either Corey Ellis - who Hardwick indicted in his post-match press conference was “a bit sore” - or Anthony Miles.

Jack Riewoldt's return from an eye injury will strengthen an already firing forward line, so the big question facing the Tigers is who to drop? A complete 29-point win against Hawthorn will make the match committee's decision difficult ahead of Saturday's blockbuster against Geelong, and one of the club's small forwards might be due for a rest.

The VFL team had a bye, but half-back Jayden Short, half-forward Ben Lennon and small forward Tyson Stengle have produced good recent form. Midfielder Jacob Townsend was brought into the emergencies late last week in a sign he is in the coaches' thinking, but he did not play. Young onballer Jack Graham has also been close to making his debut, but this might not be the week to release the strong-bodied draftee.

[Yeahright]

A win and a VFL bye means no changes for mine (based on what I assume will happen)

Corey will come out i think. Bit worried about him actually, this might sound bizarre but i thought he actually look scared on some occasions on the weekend.

I think he just has a timid look about him. That mark against whoever it was a couple weeks ago showed he wasn't scared. He'll get more confidence with more size. Needs to put on a few kg over the summer

Jack is back into full training and will play if he gets the final tick-off from the eye specialist today.
