FREMANTLE could look to include Harley Bennell in the team for the first time in 2018, when it clashes with Port Adelaide at Optus Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Bennell has played the last seven games for Peel Thunder in the WAFL, after returning from a number of calf issues.

Hayden Ballantyne missed the Dockers’ loss to Melbourne in Darwin in Round 16 with a sore ankle but could return to face the Power.

Last week’s travelling emergency Cam Sutcliff is close to a senior recall, while Taylin Duman is also in Ross Lyon’s selection mix.

The teams will be announced on Thursday evening.
