Coach Matthew Knights said on Tuesday the 22-year-old forward was likely to play after overcoming a hamstring injury.
"Angus at this stage would seem right to go," Knights said before training at Windy Hill.
"All the medical information coming through is that he'll be fine. I think our medical staff are very diligent, so if they're saying to me pretty early in the week they consider him a very strong chance I would have thought he's nearly over the line.
"It will be great to have him back in the team because he's been a really solid player."
Knights also named Nathan Lovett-Murray, Hayden Skipworth, Bachar Houli, Jay Neagle, Leroy Jetta and Tom Bellchambers as players pushing up in the VFL, but said the Bombers were unlikely to make too many changes this week.
He agreed Sunday's clash against the 14th-placed Tigers was a danger game, and expected them to provide tough opposition after their early showing against North Melbourne on the weekend.
He also said the Bombers were planning for Ben Cousins and Trent Cotchin to play after the pair missed Sunday's match with a virus.
"They were quite brilliant in the first half," he said.
"They scored 11 goals and they got plenty of run out of defence and linked up really well on the big MCG ground.
"In the first half, they looked like a very good side, and with potentially Cousins and [Nathan] Foley and Cotchin to come into that line up, you would think they'd only be strengthened.
"[Cousins] was in pretty good nick before he went out, and he seems to have snuck under people's guard because he arrived with a lot of hype early and then got injured.
"We think he'll play, so we've got him in the Richmond selected line up as of this morning. We're expecting Ben and Cotchin to come in, but we're not sure about Foley."
Knights said the Bombers were aware of the changes the Tigers had introduced since Jade Rawlings took over coaching the side five weeks ago.
"They're obviously running the ball a little bit more, but maybe a little bit of structural stuff. [Richard] Tambling and [Shane] Edwards played off half-back last week, and it gave them a lot of run out of defence," he said.
"Both their ruckmen, Tyrone Vickery and Angus Graham, spent time forward. They're getting exposure at AFL level and both played really well last week at different stages."
Knights said they had also identified the much-improved Tambling as one of the Tigers to stop after a patch of rare form.
"In the last month, his footy has been very creative, he's been getting through the lines hard, he's been damaging with his feet," he said.
"He's doing it at either end so it's full credit to him as a player. He's one of their more talented players, along with [Brett] Deledio, so those two are pretty high on our agenda to make sure they don't get away too much."
He also said his young players were not suffering from playing consistently quick AFL football, and were being managed adequately to run out the season strongly.
"The fitness crew and coaches work really closely together to make sure that during the week we've got the right training loads, so if they're doing a lot of game time on the weekend, we manage them during the week," he said.
"We feel pretty comfortable they'll keep pushing pretty hard and run out the year. Patrick Ryder was the one we were most concerned with because once David Hille and Jason Laycock and Tom Bellchambers went down, it was a massive responsibility for him.
"We've got the feedback this week he's feeling pretty good about himself, in himself and his body, so hopefully he can keep going and play at the level he has for the whole year."
