The coaches and captains have had their say ahead of the 2025 Hostplus SANFL League Grand Final on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sturt\u2019s Marty Mattner \u2013 seeking to win his third flag and the club\u2019s first since 2017 \u2013 confirmed he is considering an unchanged line-up to confront Glenelg at Adelaide Oval from 2.30pm, with his team well-rested after winning the Second Semi-Final.<\/p>\n
Double Blues midfielder Jared Dakin, who is poised to overcome a groin complaint, will be strongly considered for inclusion in the League team, with a spot in the Reserves Grand Final also an option.<\/p>\n
Glenelg\u2019s Darren Reeves \u2013 also chasing his third premiership in his third season at the Bay \u2013 confirmed 2023 premiership skipper Max Proud won\u2019t be available after sustaining broken ribs and a punctured lung in a collision with Norwood\u2019s Jackson Callow in the Preliminary Final.<\/p>\n
This will force the reigning premier into making at least one change to its line-up, with defenders Beau Symonds and Liam Wisdom the leading candidates to replace Proud in the backline.<\/p>\n
Tune in to the full press conference below, where captains Tom Lewis (Sturt) and Liam McBean (Glenelg) also preview the big clash at Adelaide Oval.<\/p>\n
