Sydney coach Paul Roos has the same philosophy for both the team he has picked to play Melbourne tomorrow and the latest calls to move the grand final to a twilight timeslot for the benefit of the AFL's broadcast partners: "If it's not broken, don't fix it."

Roos yesterday stuck with the 22 players who clinically picked apart St Kilda last weekend for the clash with the Demons at Canberra's Manuka Oval tomorrow afternoon.

Roos also opted against making changes for Sydney's final match before the team gets a week off for the bye round.

He had named experienced players Nic Fosdike and Ben Mathews, along with Luke Brennan, in a 25-man squad, and there was a thought he may bring one of them in for this match.

But with the senior team doing so well with five consecutive wins, finding a place in the top team is not easy, and he stuck with the same 22 as last week.

"No, we won't make any changes this week," Roos said. "It is probably frustrating for some of the players, but for the coaching staff, it's a little bit easier when you've got a lot more players to pick from.

"But there's a long way to go in the season and things can change pretty quickly, so those guys (in the seconds who are trying to break into the senior team) have got to stay positive and keep playing well in the seconds."

While Sydney is a warm favourite to beat the bottom-of-the-ladder Demons, Roos said his concerns would not be about his team disrespecting Melbourne, but more so the players looking at what's ahead.

"You've got five wins, you're reasonably well placed on the ladder, so you hope they are focusing on the game rather than the weekend off," he said.

"We need to win on Sunday to take advantage of some really good form and some improvement with a lot of our players, and some good efforts from some of our younger players."

Does this mean a shellocking is on the cards?
