RICHMOND will be looking to put its game plan to the test in Saturday's blockbuster against Collingwood at the MCG.

Defender Dylan Grimes said the match expected to attract more than 80,000 people was a "huge opportunity" for the undefeated Tigers.

"It's a really good test for us as a club to go up against what is one of the best teams in the competition and really test our structures against theirs ... it's a huge opportunity to see where we're at," the 21-year-old said.

"The heat's on us; Collingwood will want to come out and make a big statement so the challenge for us is to be consistent and put in another good performance."

Grimes credited the Tigers resurgence to improved depth, especially in the back line following the off-season arrivals Troy Chaplin and Ricky Petterd.

"The good thing is in previous years if we had a player go down, it might have been more of a issue on field," Grimes, who has battled persistent hamstring problems throughout his career, said.

Grimes missed a chunk of the pre-season following surgery to repair a small tear in his left hamstring tendon.

"With such depth this year, there were guys who were able to come in and fill my spot quite easily and it allowed me to just focus on myself and my rehab to get myself right for this year. It was really positive."
