Hayden Young headlines three potential inclusions to Fremantle’s line-up to take on Collingwood this Sunday, with the Club’s extended squad of 26 named.
Young joins Brandon Walker and Neil Erasmus as the three potential inclusions, named on the extended interchange alongside Murphy Reid, Nathan O’Driscoll, Corey Wagner, Bailey Banfield and Isaiah Dudley.
Young returns to the extended squad after being sidelined from a hamstring surgery early in May, last playing in Fremantle’s Round 8 loss to St Kilda.
Walker has also returned to full fitness after dislocating his left shoulder, which last saw him feature at AFL level in Round 2 against the Swans.
The lockdown defender has been building at WAFL level and has played the past three games with Peel Thunder, including a 15-disposal and four-mark performance against East Perth.
Erasmus could potentially return for his 11th game of the season after being omitted ahead of last weekend’s win over Hawthorn.
Andrew Brayshaw has pulled up well following a cut to his head in the win over the Hawks, named in the middle alongside Caleb Serong, Luke Jackson and Shai Bolton.
Coming off a career-high three-goal performance against Hawthorn last week, forward Sam Switkowski will celebrate his 100th AFL game this Sunday.
Switkowski was the highest rated player on the ground last weekend, and has been named at half-forward for the Pies clash alongside Pat Voss and Jye Amiss, with Michael Frederick, Josh Treacy and Sean Darcy rounding out the forward line.
Fremantle’s final team will be announced at 3pm WST on Friday at fremantlefc.com.au
The tactical substitute will be confirmed one hour before bounce down on Sunday.
Bouncedown on Sunday is at 3.20pm EST / 1.20pm WST and will be broadcast live on Channel 7 and Fox Sports 503, as well as streamed live on Kayo, 7plus and Binge.
