RICHMOND could turn to project player Ivan Soldo in Saturday's clash against West Coast after its tall stocks were decimated by injury at the weekend.

The Tigers will likely need to replace tall forward and back-up ruckman Ben Griffiths, who suffered concussion in last Thursday night's win against Collingwood at the MCG.

His replacement would almost certainly have been rookie Mabior Chol, but the talented 20-year-old also suffered concussion in a VFL practice match on Thursday against the Magpies.

Chol was taken from Punt Road Oval on a stretcher after being crunched in a marking contest, later returning to the bench but not taking any further part in the match.

Soldo, who is yet to debut, has hit form at the right time after kicking four goals against the Collingwood VFL team last Thursday, including three in the third term.

He shapes as the most likely replacement for Griffiths because of his ability to support Toby Nankervis in the ruck against the Eagles and compete in attack. 

The cousin of ruckman Ivan Maric, Soldo was originally recruited in 2014 as a Category B rookie and took a big step in 2016, playing 15 VFL games.

The Tigers could also call on Todd Elton, who has played four games in his four completed seasons, including the final two games of last season.
