Fremantle will welcome back defenders Luke McPharlin and Michael Johnson as well as goal sneak Jeff Farmer and Andrew Browne for its clash against Geelong at Skilled Stadium on Saturday.

Both Luke (ribs) and Michael (ankle) sustained injuries in Fremantle's Round 13 loss to St Kilda which forced them to miss the following week's match against Essendon.

Jeff returns to the line up after being omitted from the Round 14 team that faced the Bombers for missing a recovery session after the game against the Saints at Telstra Dome.

This disciplinary action was taken based on a recommendation of the leadership group which was later endorsed by the match committee.

Andrew will make his first appearance for 2008 with Fremantle on Saturday and will use the opportunity to repay the faith the club has had in him through his battles with injury.

"It has been a frustrating couple of years, so I'm excited I've got an opportunity this weekend and I can't wait," Andrew said.

"I've set myself the goal of staying in the side the rest of the year, so hopefully I can, and that it helps repay the faith they've shown in me.

"There are not too many AFL players that get kept on a list after so many long-term injuries, so I'm forever thankful for that and I feel a responsibility to repay that faith over the last seven or eight games."

Bouncedown on Saturday is 2.40pm EST.
