RICHMOND has no injury concerns that would see it make a forced change, with assistant coach Justin Leppitsch declaring a training hiccup could be the only thing that would see the Tigers change their winning mix.

An unchanged 22 has taken the Tigers through September, with the match committee sticking with the same line-up, despite the red-hot VFL form of half-forward Sam Lloyd. 

Asked before Thursday morning's training session if the grand finalists had any injury concerns, Leppitsch said: "Nothing that's going to worry us for this week's game".

"We just have to decide if we're going to make any forced changes if someone pulls up sore from training or something like that," the assistant coach said.

"At this point I don't think there'll be a lot of change, but we have to battle that out this afternoon at two o'clock."

Despite the excellent VFL form of Lloyd, who won the Norm Goss Medal as best on ground in the VFL Grand Final, Leppitsch said the Tigers didn't have any selection headaches when it came to form. 

Midfielder Kane Lambert, who started the week on light duties, trained on Thursday.

Preliminary final emergencies Shai Bolton, Shaun Hampson and Corey Ellis were also among the training squad, as was the in-f0rm Lloyd and Oleg Markov, who was the last Tiger omitted.

Richmond's small forward line has emerged as one of its main strengths this season with Leppitsch in charge of the young group, leading a high-pressure game style.

The former Brisbane Lions coach, who was sacked last season, said it had been satisfying to return to the club he was an assistant at between 2010-13.

"For me it's like I had this weird dream last night and I can't believe it," he said of his return.

"Everything happens, good, bad, the whole lot … a horse walks in, something happens.

"You walk away thinking, 'How did I go from last year to this year?' A lot of emotion has gone into the last 12 months for me, good and bad.

"So it's a hard one to quantify, but I'm just thankful. I'm just so happy Damien asked me to come back last year and be a part of it. It's awesome to be a part of."

The Crows' confrontational stance during the national anthem has been a talking point through the finals, but it hasn't been on the Tigers' agenda this week.

"I think the pre-game stuff and what they want to do, that's what they need to do to feel good," he said.

"We've probably spent more time on their ball movement and defence to be honest.

"You do what makes you feel good before the game."
