The Freo Line-Up: Four additions for GWS
The captain is back, while three others have been added to the squad for the Giants game
The pair was among four additions, with Clancee Pearce the only player to come out after a calf injury.
Hayden Crozier and Jesse Crichton were the other players added to the squad of 25, which will be trimmed to 22 on Friday.
Stay tuned to fremantlefc.com.au at 2.30pm WST on Friday for the final 22.
Fremantle general manager of football operations Chris Bond said the club captain was raring to go after a three-week stint on the sidelines because of suspension.
“He’s been able to get some training under his belt without any restrictions of injury,” Bond said.
“He’s looking forward to getting back and playing and getting some good match fitness.”
Garrick Ibbotson was a late withdrawal from the team that beat Carlton at Etihad Stadium last week.
The athletic defender has an Achilles injury, but Bond was confident he would return.
“He’s looking well, he’s been able to get through this week’s training so far,” he said.
“He’s just got to get through Friday and we’re expecting that he should be fit to play.”
Jesse Crichton has not appeared in an AFL game this season.
Bond said the Tasmanian recruit’s season had been compromised by injury but that the club was very keen to see him get some continuity on the field.
“He’s in the squad, so he’s very close,” he said.
Hayden Crozier played well for Peel Thunder in the WAFL last week, something the club had come to expect of the Victorian recruit.
“He always performs well at WAFL level for us so we’re really confident that, when he gets his chance, he’ll be able to step up and play,” Bond said.
