- Points of interest: Fremantle v Geelong
- Meet our 2017 Purple Haze Star
- Fyfe and Dangerfield to go head to head
Nick Suban has been selected in the final TABtouch 22 for Sunday’s round one clash with Geelong, after performing in Peel’s win over East Perth in the WAFL last weekend.
Hayden Crozier, Tommy Sheridan and Matt Taberner, who also featured for Peel, have been listed as emergencies.
The side will be led out by new Fremantle captain Nat Fyfe, who will play his first AFL game in 336 days after suffering a broken leg in round five of the 2016 season against Carlton.
Michael Johnson, who also sustained a season ending injury against Carlton, is set to return for Fremantle alongside Fyfe.
Fremantle’s four new signings from the 2016 NAB AFL Trade Period - Cam McCarthy, Bradley Hill, Joel Hamling and Shane Kersten - will make their Fremantle debuts.
Geelong were forced to make a change to their squad of 25 on Friday afternoon after the withdrawl of Cameron Gutherie (calf).
Darcy Lang came into Geelong's squad of 25, and was named as an emergency alongside Sam Menegola and Jackson Thurlow.
The clash will be Fremantle’s annual Starlight Purple Haze Game, proudly supported by Fremantle Ports and will be Freo’s 500th AFL match.
