Fremantle have made four changes to their starting 22 that will face Port Adelaide on Sunday.

Forward Cam McCarthy, ruckman Scott Jones and defenders Ryan Nyhuis and Cam Sutcliffe all return for the clash at Optus Stadium.

The group replace the injured Andrew Brayshaw (groin) as well as Darcy Tucker (managed), Shane Kersten and Michael Apeness.

McCarthy will play his first game since round 11, after kicking 12 goals from the opening 11 games of the season.

Jones, who has two-games’ experience at AFL level and last played in round 12, will join fellow ruckman Sean Darcy in the lineup.

Nyhuis has been in and out of the Fremantle lineup this season, last playing as a late inclusion against Brisbane in round 15 after the withdrawal of Aaron Sandilands just before bouncedown.

Sutcliffe will play his first game since round one – also played against the Power. The defender was a travelling emergency for Fremantle’s clash with Melbourne in Darwin in round 16 and averaged 13.2 disposals from six games for Peel in the WAFL this season.

Sunday’s game is the 2018 NAIDOC game, presented by Woodside.

Fremantle will wear their purple ‘home’ Indigenous jumper on the day as a part of the NAIDOC Week celebrations.

Bouncedown is at 2.40pm.
