Footscray and Southport have named their 23-player teams for Sunday's VFL Grand Final at IKON Park.
Western Bulldogs veteran Taylor Duryea's bid to end his career with a VFL premiership is alive, with the defender the only inclusion for minor premiers.
Duryea served a one-game suspension across the preliminary final weekend after being charged with rough conduct on Frankston's Bailey Lambert during Footscray's qualifying final win over the Dolphins.
That ban was initially a three-week penalty, but a successful challenge at the VFL Tribunal meant Duryea would be free to play in the grand final should the Dogs claim a win over last week's opponent, the Box Hill Hawks.
Duryea's return comes at the expense of Josh Kellett, who is the only player to make way from last week's side for Stewart Edge.
Kellett is one of five emergencies for the Dogs, who have named youngster Fred Valpied as their 23rd player.
Edge's lineup includes 18 AFL-listed players, including veterans Adam Treloar, Liam Jones and Ryan Gardner.
For the Sharks, Matthew Primus' side is unchanged from their 88-point win over Frankston.
J.J. Liston Trophy winner Jacob Dawson presents as the club's main threat in midfield alongside Boyd Woodock and Brayden Crossley, while Team of the Year selection Zac Foot has been a front-half livewire in 2025.
Both clubs have a total of six players on their respective injury lists, with Southport having notable absentees in star recruit Sam Lowson, Jacob Heron and Tai Hayes.
The 2025 VFL Grand Final is scheduled for 2:15pm (AEST) on Sunday at IKON Park.
