Speaking on Bomber TV, Ayres said the Tigers had shown good recent form and were looking dangerous despite Matthew Richardson being an unlikely starter.
""Young, inexperienced teams like Richmond have a funny way of winning games like this. When you’re not expected to win the pressure is off and you can pull off an upset,"" he said.
""This is a game we should win but we have to play good footy and make sure we get the points. We need to build on the momentum from last week.
""We have a strong advantage in the forward line - with Matthew Lloyd, Scott Lucas and James Hird - however, our midfielders need to give them a good supply.""
