There are two very fitting inclusions for Fremantle’s hit92.9 Retro Round clash against Essendon at Optus Stadium on Saturday night.

Hayden Ballantyne will play a farewell home game, with this season set to be his final at the club.

Tall forward Cam McCarthy, a life-long fan who was born the day Fremantle played this first game in 1995, also comes in for the clash in which Freo will wear their original ‘anchor’ home jumper.

The pair replace the omitted Jason Carter and Bailey Banfield.

The game will also be celebrated as a farewell game for Aaron Sandilands as well as Michael Walters’ 150th milestone game.

Ballantyne has played 170 games to date for Fremantle and has kicked the third-most goals for the club, behind all time leader Matthew Pavlich and only two behind the second-placed Walters.

While Ballantyne plans to play on either in the AFL or WAFL beyond 2019, the clash will be the last chance for fans to cheer the forward on at a Fremantle home game.

Banfield, Carter, Brett Bewley and Travis Colyer have been named as the emergencies.

Bouncedown is at 6.10pm and tickets are still available here through Ticketmaster.
