Richmond's depth has already been tested this year due to a number of key injuries, but they still have plenty of talent waiting in the wings.

Big-bodied midfielder Riley Collier-Dawkins, who was taken with pick No.20 in the 2018 NAB AFL Draft, has been on the cusp for a number of weeks and appears likely to be given a debut in the coming weeks.

Fellow first-round draft pick Thomson Dow (No.21 last year) was a standout performer in the scratch matches before a stomach bug stalled his momentum.

Patrick Naish, who averaged 19 disposals in his only two games last year, has been dominating on the wing and could easily slot into the senior line-up.

Key defender Ryan Garthwaite and versatile tall Callum Coleman-Jones are ready to go should more injuries strike.

Oleg Markov, who has 17 senior matches to his name, is also yet to play an AFL game in 2020.

Youngsters Fraser Turner, Luke English, Ben Miller and Hugo Ralphsmith continue to get valuable match practice but are less likely to be seen at AFL level in 2020.
