Fremantle have named the 26 players that will face West Coast in their AAMI Community Series clash on Sunday at Optus Stadium.
Sean Darcy, Luke Ryan, David Mundy and Michael Walters all come in from the 24 that ran out in a practice match against West Coast last Friday.
Nathan O’Driscoll and Joel Western have come out of the line-up and have been named as emergencies alongside Connor Blakley and Joel Hamling.
The team consists of eight players on the interchange which has been expanded for AAMI Community Series games.

Speaking in Friday’s media conference, Senior Coach Justin Longmuir said Mundy and Walters would play full minutes.
“Mundy’s played a fair bit of match sim so we expect him to come up pretty quick,” Longmuir said.
“He’ll play a full game, he’s ready for it. He did all the work last week, he had a sore neck so he was still able to run and did a couple of heavy footy sessions. We need to get a full game into him.
“Walters is right to go. He’s had a massive pre-season. We probably showed a fair bit of precaution with that hamstring (injury), we could have pushed him to play last week but decided to take no risks at this time of the season. He’s right to play a full game.”
The emergencies and available non-selected players took part in a separate match simulation with Peel Thunder on Saturday morning.
The game will be broadcast of Fox Footy and streamed on Kayo, but will unfortunately be closed to the public.
Bouncedown is at 4.10pm.
