Star midfielder Nat Fyfe was the only notable absentee as Fremantle completed their final training session ahead of their NAB Challenge clash with the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium tomorrow night.

The Dockers had a light session at Fremantle Oval this morning before flying to Melbourne this afternoon.

Fremantle have named a 29-man squad for tomorrow night, with tagger Ryan Crowley, forward Chris Mayne and defender Clancee Pearce all included.

All three moved freely on the track today after missing last week’s thrashing against West Coast at Arena Joondalup.

Fyfe was named, but didn’t appear during the session and has been wearing strapping on his right knee.

Cam Sutcliffe was also included in the team with the youngster in line to play his first game of the year.

Zac Clarke, who suffered a knee injury over the summer, did some light jogging and stretching away from the main group and has already been ruled out of round one.

Hayden Ballantyne, Danyle Pearce, Hayden Crozier and Paul Duffield didn’t look to be suffering any ill effects after leaving the ground with minor issues during the loss to the Eagles.

Squad: Zac Dawson, Colin Sylvia, Danyle Pearce, Nat Fyfe, Matt de Boer, Michael Walters, Tommy Sheridan, Tendai Mzungu, Ryan Crowley, David Mundy, Hayden Crozier, Luke McPharlin, Scott Gumbleton, Matt Taberner, Michael Barlow, Tanner Smith, Chris Mayne, Max Duffy, Lachie Neale, Matthew Pavlich, Aaron Sandilands, Stephen Hill, Cam Sutcliffe, Lee Spurr, Michael Johnson, Jack Hannath, Paul Duffield, Clancee Pearce.
