RICHMOND has named close to a full-strength squad for its match against Port Adelaide at Lavington.

Brett Deledio, Dustin Martin, Ivan Maric, Jack Riewoldt and Alex Rance all return after missing the Tigers’ first NAB Challenge game against the Western Bulldogs.

The Tigers are not taking any risks with skipper Trent Cotchin (hamstring soreness).

Port has named rookie Johann Wagner, winner of Foxtel reality show The Recruit, it its 29-man squad while ruckman Jarrad Redden is set to play his first game since Round 10, 2013.

Port has rested big names Robbie Gray, Brad Ebert and captain Travis Boak.

Collingwood will welcome back captain Scott Pendlebury as well as stars Dane Swan and Travis Cloke for their clash with arch-rival Carlton.

The Blues are still without injured skipper Marc Murphy but will regain Bryce Gibbs.

Sydney and Fremantle have also decided to recall a host of big names with Lance Franklin and Nat Fyfe set for their first action of the pre-season.

Adam Goodes has been named by the Swans after an impressive intra-club performance together with co-captain Jarrad McVeigh and full back Ted Richards.

The Dockers welcome back Fyfe - who has recovered from a hamstring injury - as well as dominant ruckman Aaron Sandilands.

Captain Matthew Pavlich and veteran Luke McPharlin will also make the trip to Sydney

The Western Bulldogs got the better of a young Tigers team a fortnight ago and will test their own batch of draftees against Melbourne.

Toby McLean, Lukas Webb, Declan Hamilton, Bailey Dale, Caleb Daniel, Jordan Kelly and Roarke Smith are all in the 29-man squad after impressing in a recent intra-club match.

Despite a foot injury scare, the Demons have named Jesse Hogan for the game in Ballarat.

However, No.3 draft pick Angus Brayshaw was left out after signing a contract extension this week.
