As expected captain Matthew Pavlich comes straight into the team after a three-week stint on the sidelines because of suspension.
The Freo skipper kicked seven goals in the only meeting between the sides last year.
The players to come out of the team that played the Blues were Clancee Pearce, who has a calf injury, and Garrick Ibbotson who was a late withdrawal from last week’s win over Carlton at Etihad Stadium with an achilles injury.
