ROUND 15 INJURY LIST
Sean Darcy (hamstring) – Test
James Aish (concussion) – Test
Will Brodie (ankle) – Test
Michael Frederick (ankle) – Test
Eric Benning (patella tendon) – Test
Heath Chapman (hamstring) - 1-2 weeks
Matt Taberner (back) - TBA


Fremantle could have up to four players become available for selection for Saturday night’s clash with Essendon at Optus Stadium, according to High Performance Manager Phil Merriman.

Sean Darcy only needs an incident-free week on the training track to play against the Bombers, while James Aish, Michael Frederick and Will Brodie are also tests to return.

Darcy last played in the Walyalup v Narrm clash in round 11, coming off in the second quarter with the hamstring injury.

“We’re all excited for Sean’s return. He had a really good football simulation session on Saturday and got through,” Merriman said.

“The plan will be for him to get through training this week and play.”

Aish could return as early as this week should he continue to progress through the concussion protocols.

“He’s got to get through his final tick off for training on Wednesday,” Merriman said.

“The plan is for him to be out there on the weekend.”

Frederick was a late withdrawal from Fremantle’s clash with GWS on Saturday due to an ankle injury, for what would have been the forwards 50th AFL game.

“He was pretty close (to playing),” Merriman said.

“We’re just watching that ankle pretty closely in the early part of this week.

“The plan is for him to be training on Wednesday and we’ll see how it behaves after that.”

Brodie is also a test to return from an ankle injury as he looks to make himself available for selection for either Fremantle or Peel.

“It’s been a little bit slower than we thought (with Brodie),” Merriman said.

“It’s clearly turned the corner this week, so we’ll see him doing most of training this week and play on the weekend.”

Matthew Johnson has been given the all clear after appearing sore when he was subbed off against the Giants.

“It was just a hip pointer, he was clearly hampered during the game,” Merriman said.

“It’s pulled up really well. The plan is for him to be training this week.”

Darcy back? Thank *. Most important player on the damn team.

The positive of a no pressure, minimal contest game plan is no injuries. Smart by Freo.

Bright side of life.
 
So if Pearce is ok (precautionary only, and Aish is back this week, then we only have Chappo and Tabs on the injury list? Maybe Benning also.

Well done Medical Team!!

What have you done! Delete this post before the footy gods read it!
 
Pearces offensive weapon is ability to win back the ball, break a line and fish off

His lower leg injury is clearly impacting this, power and lateral movement.

Prob also why he looks like he’s a deer in headlights atm when there’s an important ground ball to be won, which he’s been a liability for a while now

What's Johnson's injury concern? Haven't seen a replay, was it a shoulder problem?
Confirmed it is a cork to the thigh, should be ok.

Chapman it's a chance for next weekend, so could only be Taberner unavailable.

Peter Wright was the gun goal kicker with 5 goals straight in his previous match. Alex kept him to zilch.

Restricted he might be but from my seat had plenty of effective moments.

Nathan Schmook's Match Report quotes a severe cork as problem, with JL noting he tends to recover from these pretty well.

It was great yesterday to see how quickly he's become a player his teammates look to pass to and one increasingly confident in his ability to impact the game. Looking like an Andy- and Caleb-esque progression at this stage.
 
AP injury is a bit of a concern. you can see he is clearly restricted the past few weeks.

Do we have a long term plan for him potentially missing as we enter our prime next year and beyond.

Yes. Hugh Davies and Josh Draper.
