Senior Coach Justin Longmuir may stick with what worked against Gold Coast and not look for an immediate replacement for the injured Sam Switkowski.
The small forward came off with a calf injury in the second term and was replaced by midfielder Will Brodie, who helped Freo get on top in the midfield with six clearances and seven contested possessions from 48 per cent game time.
It means Longmuir may not search for another forward to come into the team with Freo kicking 100 points thanks to big contributions from small forwards Michael Walters (four goals) and Lachie Schultz (three goals) and multiples from talls Jye Amiss (three goals) and Luke Jackson (two goals).
“I felt like we probably had enough forwards in the team last week,” Longmuir told 7NEWS.
“Sturty (Sam Sturt) came in, Freddy (Michael Frederick) came back. We had plenty of forwards in the team and Will Brodie came into the team and did his job as well.
“We liked the mix we had out there in the second half and we’ll stick to something similar this week.”

Longmuir agreed that 19-year-old Jye Amiss was finding his feet after an impressive showing in his seventh AFL game, with two goal assists to go with his three majors.
“I was really impressed with the way he picked up the drop zone nice and early and was able to hold his man out,” Longmuir said.
“He took four contested marks and we know how deadly he is around goals when he gets his opportunities.
“He made the most of them as well as setting up some for his teammates. It was a really strong performance.”
Longmuir said he was confident Nat Fyfe would return in the ‘coming weeks’.
“Probably unlikely this week, it’s important that we get his loading back up and get his body nice and resilient again,” Longmuir said.
“He’ll have another big session across the weekend and we’ll weigh up next week next week.
“He’s heading in the right direction and he did a little bit of training today.”
Plan ahead for Friday night footy!
Longmuir said Fremantle needed to build from their impressive second half performance against Gold Coast, overcoming a 23-point deficit to win by 10 points.
“It felt like the enthusiasm, the talk and belief was there all game,” Longmuir said.
“It clicked for us in the second half, winning some contests ahead of the ball and played the game with a little more chaos and a bit more ground level in our forward half, which created a lot of opportunities for us.”
