RICHMOND has opted against bringing in Mabior Chol as ruck back up for Friday night's preliminary final against Port Adelaide, instead sticking with an unchanged lineup. 

The Tigers and Power have both named unchanged teams for the clash at Adelaide Oval as they face off for a spot in next week's Toyota AFL Grand Final.

Tigers coach Damien Hardwick has resisted the urge to bring back Chol to take on Power pair Scott Lycett and Peter Ladhams, instead sticking with Toby Nankervis and potentially the support of David Astbury in the ruck battle.

Chol is one of the Richmond emergencies for the clash, alongside Oleg Markov, Josh Caddy and Jake Aarts.

Port Adelaide, as expected, has stuck with the line-up that beat Geelong in the qualifying final. 

MEGA-PREVIEW Stats that matter, who wins and why

Todd Marshall has been cleared to play after his shoulder injury while Xavier Duursma is also fit following his concussion.

Veteran Justin Westhoff is an emergency as he heads towards retirement, with Riley Bonner, Boyd Woodcock and Jarrod Lienert also named as back-ups.
