We take a look at which Geelong players are in the selection mix to play Richmond at the MCG on Friday night.

Gary Ablett
Missed the win over the Swans through suspension and is a near certainty to return against Richmond.

A late withdrawal against the Swans due to an adductor injury. Chris Scott says Stanley is likely to be available for selection against the Tigers.

In tough conditions for big men, Abbott dominated in the ruck with 40 hit-outs in the Cats one-point win against Footscray on Sunday. Abbott provided his midfielders with first use and finished the game with five clearances of his own.
