Kennelly gearing up for final

Tadhg Kennelly has been named in an unchanged Sydney Swans side for tomorrow morning's AFL Premiership Grand final against the West Coast Eagles.

Kennelly, 24, is the first Irishman since the Dublin-born Jim Stynes back in 1988 to play in the Aussie Rules' season decider.

The Kerryman has played in every one of the Swans' 25 matches this season, tallying up some stunning stats with 243 kicks, 382 disposals and an average rating of 57.5 - his highest in five seasons of AFL.

Paul Roos' Swans are unchanged for the sixth time in seven weeks.

The only change to their team sheet, compared to last week is that Luke Vogels is no longer an emergency player - Jarred Moore steps into the final 25.

Both teams flew into Melbourne last night, ahead of today's Grand final Parade.

Sky Sports 3 will broadcast tomorrow morning's clash, which gets under way at 6.30am Irish time, live from the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

TG4 are screening deferred 'live' coverage at noon with a highlights programme following at 10.10pm tomorrow night.
