Midfielder Mon Bessen will make her debut for Fremantle in Sunday’s clash with the Roos.
The 19-year old is named on the extended interchange bench but the Club has confirmed she will debut on Sunday against North Melbourne at Arden Street Oval.
In further changes to the squad, defenders Laura Pugh and Madi Scanlon return, named onfield to bolster the backline with Aoife Healy confirmed out of the line-up due to a delayed concussion.
Alongside Bessen on the extended bench is Georgie Brisbane who has been named as a potential inclusion to Friday's team. Rounding out the extended bench is Indi West, Noa McNaughton, Lily Johnson, Gabby O’Sullivan, Orlagh Lally and Holly Egan.
The final team to take on the Roos will be unveiled at 2pm Friday 9 October when the extended bench is trimmed to five players.
Bessen was selected by Fremantle in the 2025 AFLW draft with pick 40, the young South Australian relocating west for the 2026 season.
Scanlon returns from a hamstring injury after taking part in scrimmage last weekend, while Pugh will play her first game since the Round 2 win over Collingwood.
Fremantle will celebrate Pride Round wearing special jumpers featuring designs and messages from the Freo Family. For more information on Fremantle’s Pride jumper click here.
