With two premiership players available to be brought into the side, Richmond's general manager of football Neil Balme has dropped some intel on who the Tigers will pick for their preliminary final against Collingwood on Triple M Adelaide.

BALME ON THE TEAM:

Balme joined Triple M's Rush Hour with Jars and Louie ahead of Richmond's blockbuster preliminary final and confirmed Dustin Martin would play, but had been battling concerns with his knee.

"Of course," he told Triple M.

"He did have a little bit of a corkie, and I probably wasn't as honest and open when I said he's fine.

"I meant he's going to be fine for next Friday."

The boys asked Balme about whether the Tigers would plan any changes for Friday night, including the likes of Dan Butler and Brandon Ellis, who both missed the qualifying final against Hawthorn.

"They're both available," Balme replied. 

"Dan hasn't played all that much, so it'd be a big decision, but I think it's probably pretty unlikely that we'll make a change."
