Fremantle has confirmed a singular change to the Club’s starting 23 that will take on West Coast in RAC Derby 60 on Sunday at Optus Stadium.

As announced yesterday by the Club, Fremantle will debut forward Isaiah Dudley, naming the 21-year-old on the bench.

Dudley replaces Brandon Walker, who Fremantle confirmed on Thursday will have shoulder surgery next week after dislocating it in Round 2.

Bailey Banfield will play his 100th AFL game, named on the bench alongside Dudley, Josh Draper, Matthew Johnson and Pat Voss.

After debuting in Round 1 of 2018, Banfield has played a variety of roles across the ground for Fremantle, kicking 64 goals across his career.

RAC Derby 60 will also see career game 50 for key forward Jye Amiss, who will be playing the Eagles for the fifth time in his short career.

Amiss has kicked 82 goals in purple in just his fourth season at the Club. Exactly half of Amiss’ career goals (41) have been kicked at Optus Stadium, in just 26 appearances.

Three-time Glendinning-Allen medallist Caleb Serong has been named in the middle alongside Andrew Brayshaw, with Luke Jackson in the ruck.

Jaeger O’Meara’s strong start to the 2025 season sees the veteran midfielder named in the centre, with Nathan O’Driscoll and Jeremy Sharp on the wings.

O’Meara is averaging 31.5 disposals and five marks per game in 2025.

Two-game player Murphy Reid will feature in his first career RAC Derby, named in the forward pocket alongside Josh Treacy and Amiss.

The tactical substitute will be named one hour before the bounce on Sunday.

James Aish, Liam Reidy and Karl Worner have been named as the emergencies.

Fremantle has won two of the last three RAC Derbies, by an average margin of 68 points.

Sunday’s RAC Derby begins at 3.10pm WST and will be broadcast live on Channel 7 and Fox Footy and streamed live on Kayo and 7plus.
