Freo to blood 6 debutants against the Weagles:
“FREMANTLE'S Ann McMahon is one of six club debutants for Saturday's Western Derby against West Coast, completing a remarkable rehabilitation after a serious workplace accident.
McMahon, a police officer, was hit by a car in December 2019, breaking one leg and tearing the ACL in the other.
Irishwoman Aine Tighe is another set to make her debut after two years on the list, having suffered a series of knee injuries, as will Jess Low, Airlie Runnalls, Dana East and Makaela Tuhakaraina.”
