FREMANTLE superstar Nat Fyfe has withdrawn from the Dockers' lineup for Thursday night's AFLX debut after initially being selected in the team on Monday afternoon.

A squad change notification from the AFL said Fyfe was being 'managed', and he would be replaced by draftee midfielder Tom North.

His absence from the team was originally announced in a tweet from the AFL just after 7am AEDT time on Tuesday.

In other selection news, the Dockers will unveil prized No.2 draft pick Andrew Brayshaw.

The six clubs competing in the round-robin tournament at Hindmarsh Stadium were able to name up to 20 players in their squad, with clubs to lodge their final 10-man teams prior to each of their games.

While some clubs have chosen to play largely inexperienced sides, Bradley Hill and Michael Walters have also been named for Fremantle.

Port Adelaide has also decided to pick a smattering of senior players, with recruits Jack Watts, Jack Trengove and Trent McKenzie all set to feature, while Robbie Gray will captain the Power.

Adelaide will head into the games with a young squad, which will include father-son pair Jackson Edwards and Ben Jarman – the sons of Crows premiership players Tyson Edwards and Darren Jarman.

Mitch Duncan and Tom Hawkins head the Geelong squad, while mature-age draftee Tim Kelly will feature in the blue and white hoops for the first time after a promising pre-season.

But Cats fans will have to wait a little longer to see champion midfielder and favourite son Gary Ablett in his return to the club, with the ex-Gold Coast captain not named. Fellow stars Patrick Dangerfield and Joel Selwood will also not take part. 

Steele Sidebottom will be Collingwood's captain as the highest profile Magpie in AFLX, while top-10 draft pick Jaidyn Stephenson, an exciting half-forward/midfielder, will also head to Adelaide. Tom Phillips (illness) was a late withdrawal on Wednesday and the Magpies will take a 13-man squad.

West Coast's team is largely made up of youngsters with draftees Jarrod Brander, Jack Petruccelle, Hamish Brayshaw, Brayden Ainsworth and rookie Ryan Burrows all named.
