FREMANTLE has axed exciting forward Roxy Roux for Friday night's showdown with the Western Bulldogs at Ikon Park.

The Dockers have recalled defender Jessica Low after she missed last week's horror loss to Geelong with concussion, while also naming Tara Stribley to make her debut.

The 18-year-old was taken with pick No.59 in this year's NAB AFLW Draft after injuries curtailed her 2022 season with Swan Districts in the WAFLW. She will be the club's fifth debutant so far this season.

Gabby O'Sullivan goes out of the team with hamstring tightness but is only expected to miss one week.

The Bulldogs, meanwhile, have named Gemma Lagioia for her first match of the season in place of Britney Gutknecht, who broke her leg last weekend.
