Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin says he is confident co-captain Jack Viney will line up for the clubs first final in 12 years in two weeks time.
Viney has not played since Round 16 as he struggles with a toe injury that also hampred him in 2017.
In good news for Demons fans, Goodwin said Viney will train with the main group this week.
"Heโs travelling really positively," Goodwin toldย SEN.
"Heโs really ramped up his training, heโs progressing really strongly and he had a spring in his step after the game last night, Iโll give you the hot tip.
"His whole preparation has been around getting right for the first final, so that hasnโt changed.
"Heโll continue to build his loads, heโll join the main group this week and get another two weeks of training.
"Heโll be cherry ripe to go."
The Demons face GWS at the MCG on Sunday, with victory giving them a home final.
