Fremantle has made a late change for Saturday night’s clash with St Kilda at Optus Stadium.

Stephen Hill has come out of the starting 22 due to injury, replaced by versatile forward/defender Ryan Nyhuis. 

Hill was listed as a test for the game earlier in the week after experiencing quad tightness in round seven against Richmond at the MCG.

Saturday night’s game will be Nyhuis’ fifth at AFL level. In 2017 he played four games and kicked five goals.

It’s the second time in Nyhuis’ career that he has come in as a late change.

In round 16 of the 2017 season, Nyhuis replaced the ill David Mundy and went on to kick four goals on debut.
