After finally shaking off his injury problems, Jackson missed his club's round 23 win over the Sydney Swans because he copped a one-match suspension following an altercation in the VFL the week before.
But Tigers coach Damien Hardwick remains a fan of what Jackson can bring to the table in the tough and rugged theatre that is finals footy.
"He's ready to go," Hardwick said on Monday afternoon.
"He's a finals-type player, he's hard, he's tough, he's in our leadership group, he's a quality bloke.
"He hasn't had probably the season he would've liked – ruined generally through injury.
"But it’s one of those decisions we'll make. If he helps us win we'll put him in."
But Vickery, who hasn't played in the AFL since copping a four-match suspension for striking Dean Cox in round 18, is facing a far tougher battle to convince the coach that he should take on the Power.
Vickery's key problem is that his replacement, Ben Griffiths, has been a star performer in Richmond's improbable charge to the finals.
"Griff's obviously secured a spot, absolutely," Hardwick said. "Ty is a selection decision we'll make.
"Griff, to his credit, has played consistent footy since Ty's gone out. Once you're in the side it's hard to go out if you're playing a good, consistent brand of footy.
"Whether we have the third tall this week (is a decision we have to make). Last week we chose to go without it.
"It will be a selection call we make on Thursday or Friday."
