Fremantle has confirmed Stephen Hill’s return to the side, with the talented midfielder the only change to the 22 to take on Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday.

Hill replaced Cam Sutcliffe, who was named as an emergency along with Hayden Crozier and Matt Taberner.

The 23-year-old Hill was a late withdrawal from the game against the Giants because of hamstring tightness.

He proved his fitness at training this week and has been cleared to tackle the Demons.

The club is still without key defenders Luke McPharlin (calf) and Garrick Ibbotson (Achilles), and midfield utility Clancee Pearce (calf).
