Sydney coach John Longmire expects Nick Malceski to be right for Friday night's clash against North.

Malceski tweaked his hamstring during the first week of the finals, and has been in a race against time to prove his fitness since.

But Longmire is confident the All-Australian defender is ready to go.

"He's done everything that is required this week. He ran really hard on Monday, did all the training yesterday (Wednesday)," he said.

"He pulled up well today (from training), so at this stage we expect to name him.

"I can only go on what's in front of me right now. He feels good, he did all the running yesterday. We expect him to play."
