Collingwood and West Coast lock in sides for Saturday’s blockbuster
THE AFL’s grand final combatants will go in unchanged from their preliminary final victories.
West Coast have dismissed concerns over crucial defender Jeremy McGovern, who suffered a corked hip in Saturday’s defeat of Melbourne, naming him at centre half-back.
Opponents Collingwood also had a sole injury cloud hovering over their camp, but Jeremy Howe showed his fitness by training well on Thursday afternoon.
