INS - Fritsch, D.Turner
OUTS - Laurie (omitted), Tomlinson (omitted), Schache (omitted, Round 23 sub)
BAYLEY Fritsch will be welcomed back into the starting 22, after overcoming a foot injury that left him sidelined for over seven weeks.
Fritsch, who was averaging over two goals a game this season, will find his place once again in the Demons forward line after getting the nod of approval from coach Simon Goodwin on Thursday.
“He's done a power of work,” Goodwin said.
“We feel like he’s ready to go and he’s an important player for us.
“So, we’ll get him in the team this week and look forward to seeing his best, he’s a high-quality player that’s really important for us.”

The versatile forward hasn’t seen the field since Round 16, and will look to add to a strong mix ahead of the ball, along with the likes of Jake Melksham and Kysaiah Pickett.
Joining Fritsch in this week's inclusion is young key defender Daniel Turner.
Turner has recently returned from a hand injury, and after a quality lockdown display in the VFL last weekend, finds himself back in the senior side.
Bailey Laurie and Adam Tomlinson will make way, along with Josh Schache who was last week's tactical substitute.
Laurie and Tomlinson will join Tom McDonald and Taj Woewodin as this week's emergencies.
Sunday’s afternoon clash with the Swans will determine top-four positioning, with a win giving the Dees a chance to secure a top-two spot.
The final game of the home-and-away season will begin at 3:20pm this Sunday.
