Richmond and Sydney will be without key players for Saturday’s clash at the MCG.
Tigers defender Nick Vlastuin has been ruled out with a knee complaint while premiership teammate Bachar Houli will return from a calf injury via the VFL.
Midfielder Jack Ross will also play in the VFL after being an unused sub in last week’s win over Hawthorn.

"Nick (Vlastuin) won't come in. Bachar is a guy we could possibly push but he's not played any minutes, so we'll push him through the VFL,” coach Damien Hardwick told reporters on Thursday.
“Jack Ross will play VFL so there'll be at least one change."
Sydney meanwhile will be without star forward Lance Franklin with the club taking a cautious approach with the veteran.
Franklin kicked three goals in a successful return last week after a lengthy injury layoff that saw him miss all of 2020.
The Tigers and Swans are both unbeaten heading into the match.
