Fremantle have named an unchanged line-up heading into Monday’s clash with Melbourne at Cazaly’s Stadium in Cairns.
It will be Fremantle’s first ever game in Cairns, with Cazaly’s Stadium becoming the 21st ground the club has played at in its history.
Travis Colyer, Connor Blakely, Luke Valente and Tobe Watson have been named as the emergencies.
While this is the first time Justin Longmuir has gone with an unchanged team since taking on the senior coach role, he said he would still look to make changes within the line-up as Freo look to bounce back from a 27-point loss to Richmond in round 15.
“We need to rejig our forward line a little bit, create the right roles for our players and see if we can maximise the inside 50s we’re getting at the moment,” Longmuir said.
“There’s no point us winning the clearances by so much if we can’t score.”
Meanwhile Melbourne have made seven changes from the team that lost to Sydney on Friday.
There will be no Brayshaw showdown with Angus Brayshaw ruled out with injury, alongside Nathan Jones (illness), James Harmes (injured), Charlie Spargo (omitted), Josh Wagner (omitted), Mitch Brown (omitted) and Oscar McDonald (omitted).
Aaron vandenBerg, Braydon Preuss, Jayden Hunt, Kysaiah Pickett, Michael Hibberd, Oskar Baker and Toby Bedford are the Demons' ins.
Bouncedown for the clash is at 5.10pm AWST (7.10pm local time) and will be broadcast live into WA on 7mate and Fox Footy.
It can also be streamed on Kayo and AFL Live Pass.
