Richmond has selected its extended squad for Sunday's clash with West Coast at Optus Stadium, with four Tigers added to the mix.
Valuable utility Liam Baker is set to return to the line-up after serving a one-game suspension for rough conduct in Round 3 against Sydney.
Hard-running defender Hugo Ralphsmith is a chance to be named for his first senior match of the season after strong form in the VFL Tigers' opening two wins.
"Hugo's in super form and the way he has approached his footy lately is a real credit to him," Richmond VFL coach Steve Morris said of Ralphsmith recently.
Ruck recruit Sam Naismith, who has now been named in the extended squad for the past three weeks, is a chance to be recalled, as is wingman Sam Banks, who was omitted for Round 5.
Coming out of the Tigers' line-up is midfielder Jack Ross due to a foot injury.
Richmond will confirm its final Round 5 team on Friday night at 5.00pm AEDT.
The Club will then name its substitute 60 minutes prior to the first bounce on Sunday.
Sunday's game will be broadcast live on FOX FOOTY and Kayo Sports.
