Fremantle Lists Six Players as Tests for Preliminary Final

Fremantle, the minor premiers, has named six players as tests for their Preliminary Final against Sydney, scheduled for Friday night at the SCG.

Defenders Brennan Cox and Brandon Walker are both recovering from calf and ankle injuries, respectively, while veteran Jaeger O'Meara and ruck Sean Darcy are also in contention for selection. Young players Aiden Riddle and Adam Sweid are testing their fitness but are more likely to play for Peel Thunder.

In other news, Collingwood's vice-captain Brayden Maynard has undergone shoulder reconstruction after dislocating it during a match against Melbourne. He is expected to follow a modified training program when the team resumes in November.
