Sydney co-captain Jarrad McVeigh is set toย play in Saturday's decider after declaring himself fit for theย grand final.

Channel Seven's Tom Browne has reported thatย McVeigh will play, after missing the preliminary final win over Geelong.

McVeigh sustained a calf injury in Sydney's six goalย win over Adelaide in the semi-final, and subsequently missedย last Friday night's 37-point win.

The 31-year-old was originally listed as a 50-50 chance to play in Saturday's match, although with defender Aliir Aliir now missing with a knee injury, McVeigh will take Aliir's spot in the line-up.

Rising Star Callum Mills, who missed also the preliminary final, trained on Wednesday, which may cause another selection headache for the Sydney match committee.
