Collingwood has named its team for Saturday's Grand Final against West Coast at the MCG.
The Pies have selected the same 22 players who lost to the Eagles at Optus Stadium, then rebounded to defeat the Giants in a semi-final and Richmond in a preliminary final.
Jeremy Howe (ankle) has been named on a half-back flank after proving his fitness during the team's final training run at the Holden Centre on Thursday.
It is remarkable that the Pies have been able to field the same team in each of their finals, given they endured a terrible run with injuries during their home and away campaign.
There was some talk during the week that Ben Reid or Darcy Moore could come into the team to bolster the backline, but Reid has instead been named as an emergency.
Moore is not in the 26-man squad.
The only change the Pies have made to the squad named for last Friday's clash with the Tigers is the addition of mid-sized backman Flynn Appleby to the list of emergencies.
Appleby has replaced tall defender Jack Madgen.
