Three Fremantle players will return from injury when Freo take on Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.
Rory Lobb and Griffin Logue will play their first games of 2021 while Lachie Schultz will return after he was concussed in round three.

Lobb injured his knee in the AAMI Community Series and has made a rapid recovery.
Logue last played in round five of the 2020 season, also against Adelaide, and was one of Fremantle’s best on ground in an athletic defensive performance.
They replace Lloyd Meek, Tobe Watson and Sam Sturt, who have all been omitted.
Stefan Giro is also technically an omission after being an unused medical sub in round four against Hawthorn.
Speaking to ABC Radio on Saturday, senior coach Justin Longmuir said he expects Lobb to play close to a full game.
“He’ll still go into the ruck for six to eight minutes a quarter like he always does and we expect him to compete really hard,” Longmuir told ABC radio.
“The only difference will be he’ll come off for one spell a quarter as he gets his match fitness back up.
“We think Lachie’s form was good enough, particularly in the first two games of the year, to warrant coming straight back in.
“Griffin will come back in and strengthen up our backline and give us a bit more flexibility and height back there.”
