Fremantle midfielder Stephen Hill has been withdrawn from Saturday night's clash with Melbourne at Darwin's TIO Stadium because of a minor quad strain.

The midfielder will be replaced by Clancee Pearce, with Michael Apeness going into the squad as an emergency.

Hill won the Ross Gelndinning Medal as the best afield in Fremantle's seven-point western derby win last Saturday.
