Star Collingwood midfielder Jordan De Goey is a chance to play in the opening round of the Marsh Community Series after completing an impressive three-week training block as he builds towards round one.

Magpies assistant coach Robert Harvey said he expected De Goey to play limited minutes in the match against Richmond in Wangaratta next Sunday.

"We have got time on our side and he is just building fitness. His body is fine but he is building fitness to round one," Harvey said.

De Goey missed last year's preliminary final with a hamstring injury, making a trip to Germany in a bid to be ready for the grand final if Collingwood had made it.
