Premier Division Grand Final Teams - Aberfeldie v Greenvale

25-Man Squads Revealed


GREENVALE has included stars Addam Maric, Fabian Deluca, Courtenay Dempsey and coach Paul Chapman in their squad of 25 for Saturday's Strathmore Community Bank Premier Division Grand Final.

Jets skipper Maric, who has kicked 71 goals and is the Reynolds Medal favourite, suffered a hamstring injury in last week's Prelim Final win over Maribyrnong Park, thowing doubt over his fitness in the lead-up to the Grand Final.

A week earlier, both Courtenay Dempsey (calf) and ruckman Fabian Deluca (back) suffered injuries in the Jets' Semi Final loss to Aberfeldie.

Neither played in the Prelim, nor did Chris Farchione, who has unluckily missed out in the Jets' 25-man squad for the Grand Final.

Chapman earlier in the week did not rule out anything out on EDFL Tonight and will give Maric, Dempsey and Deluca every chance to make themselves available come 2:30 on Saturday.

Chapman himself has not taken the field since Round 17, but could make his on-field return on Saturday.

Meanwhile Aberfeldie could run out onto Windy Hill with an unchanged line-up following a week off.

Neither club has ruled anyone out from their previous game, but it is Aberfeldie who come into the Grand Final with less to worry about on the injury front.

One notable inclusion in their 25-man squad is ruckman Ben Mabon, who has not played since back in Round 15.

Harrison Wade and James Peters have also been added to Aberfeldie's squad.
