Sore Dockers cleared for grand final Fremantle have hosed down any injury concerns ahead of Saturday's AFL grand final against Hawthorn, with Luke McPharlin, Michael Johnson and Chris Mayne all declared certain starters. The star trio were notable absentees at Fremantle's open training session on Tuesday. Mayne is nursing a sore back, while All-Australian defenders McPharlin and Johnson only recently returned from calf injuries and were somewhat hampered during last week's 25-point win over Sydney. Fremantle football operations manager Chris Bond declared all three would play against the Hawks, even if they failed to do much at the club's main training session on Thursday. "A couple of them pulled up a little bit sore in the game, but they got through the week really well (and) doctors are under no doubt that they'll play," Bond said. From our point of view, it's not a real threat if they just jog around tomorrow as well. All will be available and all will play. Mayne's back went into spasm just before last week's win over Sydney, but Bond said the 24-year-old had managed the injury well. It wasn't anything major. He played really well on the weekend, so it didn't restrict him in any way," Bond said. It was just being cautious with him yesterday. We're expecting him to train tomorrow. Mayne had an embarrassing moment against the Swans when he fumbled a simple mark across the goal-line despite being under no pressure whatsoever. The 188cm forward has built a reputation for his deadly accuracy, but he could only manage two behinds from 17 possessions against the Swans. Young midfielder Tom Sheridan is a strong chance to reclaim his spot in the side if anyone is ruled out through injury, but Fremantle are likely to name an unchanged line-up. The Dockers will hold their main training session behind closed doors on Thursday morning before making the trip to Melbourne in the afternoon. Bond said the club had tried to keep everything as normal as possible this week in an attempt to best prepare the players for battle. Friday's grand final parade through the streets of Melbourne will be the last big distraction Fremantle will have to deal with before the game. "We're very much creatures of habit when it comes to our training and our travel and nothing will really change," Bond said. I mean, we're all human. We hear the external noise, and it's a big part of grand final week. But I couldn't be prouder of our coaches and players in the way they're preparing.
