Ruckman Toby Nankervis could make his return to senior football as he headlines a list of exciting additions to Richmond's squad for Sunday afternoon's clash with Carlton at the MCG.
The soon-to-be 25-year-old has spent the last three weeks at VFL level after recovering from a groin injury that had kept him sidelined for two months.

Nankervis was one of the VFL Tigers' best in last Saturday's win over Casey, collecting 21 disposals, 34-hit-outs, five clearances, seven marks and booting a goal across three quarters.
Big-bodied midfielder Jack Ross could be another to return to the side following an extended stint on the sidelines recovering from an ankle injury.
The 18-year-old returned via the VFL last Saturday, picking up 12 disposals and four marks in the opening half before being rested for the remainder of the game.
Also included in the squad are premiership wingman Kamdyn McIntosh, Sydney Stack who missed last week's win over Melbourne with calf soreness, and Marlion Pickett who impressed with 20 touches and a goal in his first outing for the VFL Tigers last Saturday.
