Star Richmond midfielder Dustin Martin is expected to line up in Friday night’s preliminary final against Collingwood at the MCG, despite being on light duties at training on Monday.

Richmond’s General Manager – Football, Neil Balme said Martin, who trained away from the main group in most of today’s training session, will play on Friday night.

“Dusty’s fine. Like most of our players at this time of year, we manage their training loads. Dusty has had a couple of light training days, but he’ll line up on Friday night,” Balme said.
