Graham Polak has been selected in Richmond’s extended squad for Sunday’s match against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.
The 25-year-old forced his way into the squad after a dominant performance playing for VFL affiliate Coburg last weekend.
If selected, it would be his first game of the season, and just the third since Round 14, 2008.
Team-mate Jeromey Webberley has also been included in the 25-man squad after being named as an emergency last week.
Richmond has brought six players into the squad, including Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin, Richard Tambling and Matt White.
Nathan Foley and Troy Simmonds have been ruled out through injury, while Matt Dea was omitted.
The final 22-man team will be confirmed at 5pm tomorrow (Friday) at richmondfc.com.au.
