Essendon selectors haven't made any changes to the side which demolished Carlton in last week's preliminary final for this Saturday's Grand Final.

There had been suggestions during the week that veteran Darren Bewick was struggling with his fitness but selectors are convinced he is 100% going into the big game.

Emergencies for the Grand Final are Sean Denham, Michael Prior and Jonathon Robran.

The forward line which has served Essendon so well this season looks excellent on paper with Mark Mercuri, Scott Lucas, James Hird, Stephen Alessio, Matthew Lloyd and Michael Long all named in the forward six.

The Bomber bench is Gary Moorcroft, Bewick, Adam Ramanauskas and Paul Barnard.

The team is:

Backs: Mark Johnson Dustin Fletcher Sean Wellman

Half Backs: Dean Solomon Dean Wallis Damien Hardwick

Centre: Blake Caracella Joe Misiti Chris Heffernan

Half Forwards: Mark Mercuri Scott Lucas James Hird

Forwards: Steven Alessio Matthew Lloyd Michael Long

Rucks: John Barnes Justin Blumfield Jason Johnson

Bench: Darren Bewick Adam Ramanauskas Gary Moorcroft Paul Barnard

Emergencies: Sean Denham Michael Prior Jonathon Robran
