BOTH captains look set to line up in Sunday's Fremantle-West Coast derby at Subiaco as tension builds even though little is riding on the result.

Fremantle coach Mark Harvey has declared captain Matthew Pavlich a certain starter, but Roger Hayden will need to prove he's over a hamstring problem before being selected.

"He (Pavlich) will play and is fine," Harvey said. "He will train today and I'm more than confident that he's right.

"He has played on Glass a lot over the last couple of years and that may happen again, but West Coast's midfield has changed significantly in the last couple of weeks so he could run through there as well.

"Roger will train today. He is a chance based on training this week and we will see how he trains today before making a final decision."

West Coast captain Darren Glass, centre half-forward Ashley Hansen and veteran David Wirrpanda all struggled through training on Friday morning, but Worsfold expects the trio to play.

"They should all be right. Glassy's pretty comfortable, Ash Hansen should be right and Wirra is just Wirra, I think he was putting on a show (at training)," Worsfold said.

"Ashley just has soreness in one part of his body that's not a major thing but he should be right and Glassy had a week off so he's right."

Much of the focus has been on Shaun McManus' last game for Fremantle and Worsfold will be keen to pay his respects to him.

"We will acknowledge Shaun after the game in the best possible way we can. For 228 games he has been unbelievable and we are lucky enough to get the opportunity to acknowledge him at the end of his career," he said.

"We were there for James Hird and Kevin Sheedy's last game last year, and at the end of the game we will acknowledge him.

"We are rapt to have the opportunity to show our respect on behalf of all other AFL teams for Shaun McManus."

The two coaches did get caught up in the usual pre-match derby hype with Harvey urging his supporters to come out in purple with scarves to help intimidate the West Coast players.

"It really hit home when I came and watched rugby union two weeks ago and there was a sea of yellow here barracking for Australia," Harvey said.

"I just want our supporters who are strong in numbers to be fanatical, patriotic and to get right behind the team, which they usually do but I'm trying to get them go over and beyond. It can certainly be intimidating."

Worsfold, in his usual understated way, would have none of that.

"It's our home ground and Fremantle's home game, so you work it out. I'm not big on that, it's kindergarten stuff.

"It's not our crowd, so whatever they do it will have no impact on us," Worsfold said.
