See who afl.com.au reporters believe could be in line for selection for the Sydney Swans and Richmond.

SYDNEY SWANS
There will be enormous interest when the Swans announce their side on Thursday night.

Already secured in the top two, the Swans face a Richmond team that needs to win to qualify for the finals.

So people associated with the Tigers will be hoping the Swans rest some big names ahead of their own finals campaign.

Josh Kennedy (hamstring), Ben McGlynn (calf), Craig Bird (knee) and Sam Reid (hip) all missed last week's victory over the Bulldogs.

Of that group, Kennedy and Reid would be the most likely to play this week.

But depth isn't an issue for the Swans, with Shane Biggs, Dean Towers and Tom Mitchell among the players that covered for their absence and helped to pick up the slack.

RICHMOND
Star midfielder Dustin Martin is expected to return for the Tigers' must-win clash against the Swans on Saturday after missing one match with a minor hamstring strain.

Tall forward Ty Vickery is also available after serving a four-match suspension, but the Tigers need to make a call on whether he fits alongside in-form tall Ben Griffiths and star goalkicker Jack Riewoldt in attack.

Club champion Dan Jackson was suspended for one match in the VFL meaning his season could be over if the Tigers don't qualify for finals. Jackson was an AFL emergency in round 22 after returning from a glute injury.
