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.
