Fremantle have made two changes to their starting 22 for Saturday’s clash with Greater Western Sydney at Giants Stadium.
A substitute against Richmond in round 13, forward Michael Walters has come into the team.
He is joined by inside midfielder Jaeger O’Meara, who returns to the line-up after serving a one-match suspension last weekend.
The pair will replace the injured James Aish (concussion) and the omitted Sam Sturt.
Sturt joins Neil Erasmus, Karl Worner and Josh Corbett as the listed emergencies for the clash, with one of the four to be named as the tactical sub an hour before bouncedown.
Walters starred in the sub role against Richmond last weekend, entering the game in the third quarter with immediate impact to kick two goals.
O’Meara hadn’t missed a game this season until he received a one-match sanction for a dangerous tackle on Narrm’s Charlie Spargo in round 11.
Saturday’s clash will mark just the third time that Fremantle has played at the Giants Stadium venue, and the Club’s first time there since 2017.
Fremantle are looking to keep in touch with the top eight, sitting outside of finals contention in 10th with a 6-6 record.
Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs sit inside the top eight on 28 points, while Geelong (9th), Fremantle (10th) and Gold Coast (11th) all sit on 24 points having each played one less game due to a bye.
GWS are in 14th with a 5-8 record and are coming off an away win against North Melbourne in Tasmania.
Bounce down for the clash is at 4.35pm (2.35pm WST) and will be broadcast live on the Seven network and Fox Footy, as well as streamed live via Kayo.
