KEY Fremantle trio Luke McPharlin, Michael Johnson and Chris Mayne have been named to take their place in Saturday's Grand Final.

The sore Dockers missed the club's first training session earlier in the week, just days out from the biggest game in Fremantle’s history.

But all three were on the track at Fremantle Oval this morning, completing the warm-up before training went behind closed doors.

Fremantle this afternoon named an unchanged lineup to take on the Hawks, with last week's emergencies Alex Silvagni, Tom Sheridan and Jack Hannath resuming their roles as back-ups.

Hawthorn made one enforced change, with Jonathan Simpkin replacing the injured Brendan Whitecross in the Hawks' 22.

Mayne (sore back) warmed up this morning in a tracksuit, while McPharlin, who has been under a cloud with leg soreness after missing several months with a torn calf, did some light jogging and stretching. 

Johnson, who was wearing a compression bandage on his sore right calf - as he did in last week's win over Sydney - was not sighted running before the media was asked to leave.

Luckless defender Garrick Ibbotson was at training to lend his support, standing on crutches having had surgery on his injured achilles last week.

Skipper Matthew Pavlich went through some goal visualisation techniques ahead of his first grand final in his 291st game.

Fremantle flew out to a rousing reception this afternoon ahead of tomorrow's grand final parade through the streets of Melbourne.
