Fremantle have made one change for Thursday’s RAC Derby against West Coast at Optus Stadium.
Roxy Roux makes her return to play her first game since round two, replacing Madi Scanlon.
Scanlon came off the field in the second half of Fremantle’s draw with Carlton in round four due to a wrist injury.
Roux was set for a recall for the Carlton game before she sustained a minor ankle injury at training, which pushed her return back by a week.
Mikayla Hyde, Sarah Wielstra and Tahlia Read have been named as the emergencies.
The clash is Fremantle’s only home and away fixture this season at Optus Stadium, and is officially a ‘home’ game for West Coast.
The game is the fourth meeting between Fremantle and West Coast in the AFLW, with Freo holding a 3-0 record and Kiara Bowers winning three consecutive best on ground medals, including a tie with Ebony Antonio for the medal in round one of Season 6.
Bouncedown for the public holiday clash is now at 1.10pm and tickets are available here.
The game will also be broadcast live into WA on Channel 7 and can be streamed on Kayo and via womens.aflw.
