Summary
Oscar McDonald will play his first AFL game in over a year as Fremantle faces Melbourne, after adapting to a forward/ruck position due to team needs. McDonald, who missed most of last season with a knee injury, will back up ruckman Sean Darcy, tasked with competing against Max Gawn, and may face his brother Tom during the match. In contrast, Melbourne has made significant changes, dropping key players Bayley Fritsch and Jacob van Rooyen as they look to improve after a slow start to the season.
