Fremantle have made two changes to their line-up for Saturday’s round seven clash with Brisbane at the Gabba.
Sam Switkowski and Nathan O’Driscoll return to the starting 22 to replace the injured Michael Frederick and omitted defender Corey Wagner.
Switkowski’s return comes after missing last Friday’s clash with the Western Bulldogs through a calf injury, while O’Driscoll will play his third game of the season after being omitted ahead of Gather Round.
Opposition: How the Lions will line-up
Josh Corbett, Neil Erasmus, Corey Wagner and Nathan Wilson have been named as the emergencies for the clash.
One of the four will be confirmed as the tactical substitute an hour before bouncedown.
The game will also celebrate the 150th AFL milestone games of James Aish and Jaeger O’Meara.
The last time the two sides met, Fremantle were victorious by 14 points in a round 12 win at Optus Stadium last season.
Bouncedown for Saturday’s clash is at 1.45pm EST (11.45am WST) and will be broadcast live into WA on Foxtel and via stream on Kayo.
The game is one of Fremantle’s free-to-air holdback games under the AFL’s broadcast agreement and will be broadcast on delay into WA on Channel 7 at 2.30pm.
The clash is the Club’s second of three scheduled away games that will be delayed on local free-to-air television.
