See which Fremantle players could come in to face West Coast at Optus Stadium on Sunday.
With Fremantle coming off an impressive 54-point win against the Western Bulldogs and Peel coming off a bye, there are unlikely to be many, if any, changes based on form.
Michael Johnson
The key defender was managed against the Western Bulldogs and is likely to return to face a taller West Coast Eagles forwardline. With key forward and back-up ruckman Matt Taberner out through injury, Johnson is also likely to be called upon to support Aaron Sandilands.
Brennan Cox
The absence of Taberner could also see Brennan Cox make his AFL return. A versatile forward and defender, Cox has been playing in the backline for Peel this season but spent most of his forward in his 10 AFL appearances in 2017.
Cox has averaged 16.7 disposals and seven marks per game during three games for Peel this season.
Michael Apeness
Apeness would be an ideal replacement for Taberner with his ability to play forward and ruck, however the 23-year-old has had limited playing time one his return from multiple injuries.
Apeness played rounds one and two for Peel this season but missed round three with a minor ankle injury.
Ethan Hughes
The 23-year-old is continuing to push for a return to AFL football with a string of good performances in Peel’s backline. Againt Perth in round three, Hughes collected 24 disposals, took eight marks and laid two tackles.
