Fremantle have made two changes heading into Saturday night’s RAC Derby at Optus Stadium.

Emerging defender Karl Worner replaces the injured Ethan Hughes, while midfielder Matthew Johnson comes in for Neil Erasmus.

Named in the starting 22, Worner will play his first full game after coming on as a substitute on debut against Collingwood in round 18.

It’s also Worner’s return to the AFL after sustaining a calf injury in the clash. He made his return via the WAFL for Peel against West Coast on Saturday, collecting 26 disposals.

Johnson returns to the starting 22 after he replaced the injured Hughes as the substitute to start the fourth quarter against Brisbane on Sunday.

Erasmus has been named as an emergency alongside Nathan Wilson, Ethan Stanley and Joel Hamling.

One of the four will be confirmed as the substitute an hour before bouncedown.

The clash is an ‘away’ RAC Derby with bouncedown at 6.10pm on Saturday.

It will be broadcast live into WA on Channel 7, Fox Footy and can be streamed on Kayo.
