FREMANTLE has managed four players for its Tuesday night clash with the Western Bulldogs at VU Whitten Oval.
First-year players Aine Tighe, Makaela Tuhakaraina and Dana East will all watch from the sidelines after 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 at 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's rest, and Bianca Webb will play her first game of the season.
All-Australian defender Janelle Cuthbertson was set to return after missing the previous two matches due to concussion, but the star Docker has been ruled out for up to six weeks with a fractured jaw.
Cuthbertson suffered the injury in a training incident after colliding with a teammate.
The Western Bulldogs will also have a debutant, with Jemima Woods coming into the side after being added to the list to replace the inactive Kirsten McLeod, and Elizabeth Snell returns from health and safety protocols.
Both Amanda Ling and Nell Morris-Dalton will be managed.
