Fremantle made ten changes for the match with the bad news being the loss of defender Michael Johnson with a calf injury.
Stephen Hill, Nick Suban and Michael Walters, who all missed the round 23 game against St Kilda have been named.
Also coming back into the side are rested stars David Mundy, Lee Spurr, Hayden Ballantyne, Chris Mayne, Zac Clarke, Zac Dawson and Nat Fyfe
Clancee Pearce comes out of the team with an Achilles injury while Jack Hannath, Alex Forster, Jesse Crichton, Josh Mellington, Hayden Crozier, Matt Taberner, Josh Simpson, Craig Moller and Peter Faulks have all made way for the returning players.
Fremantle’s general manager of football Chris Bond said McPharlin, who flew with the team to Melbourne, was still a chance to play.
“At the moment we will just see how he pulls up tomorrow and we're expecting him to play and we will finalise the team closer to the game,” he said.
Bond said Johnson’s injury was not serious but erred on the side of caution.
“It's nothing that's major, he's just a bit tight in the calf and we didn't want to risk it. He wasn't capable of playing and getting through training so we're sure he will be able to get through training next week,” he said.
Bond added that the returning players were 100 per cent.
“They all got through training over the weekend and trained really strongly again today,” he said.
“There are no issues from that end and they're already to go.”
The other emergencies, Hayden Crozier and Jack Hannath both travelled with the team.
