FREMANTLE managed four players for Tuesday night’s clash with the Western Bulldogs at the VU Whitten Oval.

Freshmen Aine Tighe, Makaela Tuhakaraina and Dana East will all watch from the sidelines following the five-day turnaround, while Kara Antonio will be rested for the second time this season.

Jasmin Stewart has been omitted after just one game this year.

The Dockers’ first selection in the 2021 NAB AFLW Draft Amy Franklin will make her debut, as will Mikayla Morrison who was drafted in 2020. Tiah Toth and Matilda Sergeant will both return to the side after a week off, and Bianca Webb will play her first game of the season.

Australia defender Janelle Cuthbertson was due to return after missing the previous two matches with a concussion, but star Docker was ruled out for up to six weeks with a fractured jaw.

Cuthbertson was injured in a practice incident after colliding with a teammate.

the western bulldogs will also have a rookie, with Jemima Woods entering the side after being added to the roster to replace inactive Kirsten McLeod, and Elizabeth Snell returning from health and safety protocols.

Amanda Ling and Nell Morris-Dalton will be managed.
