Fremantle have made three changes ahead of the Club’s round 15 clash with Gold Coast on Sunday at Optus Stadium.
Corey Wagner comes into the final 23, named on-field at half-back for his first game of the season starting on-ground.
Wagner’s last appearance was in the Club’s round 12 win over Melbourne in Alice Springs, when the speedy defender came on as the substitute in the fourth quarter, gathering nine disposals and six marks.
As announced by the Club yesterday, key defender Hugh Davies will make his AFL debut being named on-field in the backline.
Heath Chapman also returns to the team after being withdrawn late from the round 14 game against the Bulldogs with hamstring awareness.
Earlier today, speedy defender Brandon Walker was withdrawn from the 26-man squad with Illness.
Walker joins veteran Michael Walters (hamstring) and young key defender Joshua Draper (omitted) as the outs for Sunday’s clash.
James Aish, Matthew Johnson, Jaeger O’Meara, Sam Sturt and Karl Worner make up the Clubs five-man extended bench, with one player to be confirmed as the substitute an hour before bounce down.
