Alex Pearce
Subbed out with sore heel
Pearce was subbed out of Sunday's 107-49 loss to St. Kilda at Blundstone Arena with a sore heel, FremantleFC.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Justin Longmuir noted after the match that rather than risk further damage to the injured heel, which first revealed itself earlier in the week, Fremantle's coaching staff elected to pull Pearce at a point in the final quarter where it was clear the game was out of hand. The Dockers defender finished the game having contributed 12 disposals, three marks and a pair of tackles and clearances each.

Sustains hip flexor strain in loss
Darcy sustained a hip flexor injury in Sunday's 107-49 loss to Fremantle at Blundstone Arena, FremantleFC.com reports.

Reece Conca
Will be delisted
Conca will not play for Fremantle after the 2021 season.
ANALYSIS
Conca hasn't played since Round 13 versus Gold Coast, as the Dockers have prioritized youth among their defenders in recent weeks. It's unclear where the 31-year-old will end up in 2022.

Connor Blakely
Out for finale
Blakely will miss Round 23 against St Kilda with a hamstring injury.
ANALYSIS

Michael Walters
Still one week away
Walters (hamstring) is expected to return in one-to-two weeks, according to GM of performance Joe Brierty.
ANALYSIS
Walters isn't likely to return this season unless the Dockers manage to make it to the finals, so it's not worth expecting much more out of the situation than this.

Lachlan Schultz
Scores twice in win
Schultz scored two goals and two behinds to go with six marks made during Sunday's 79-64 win over the West Coast Eagles in Round 22.
ANALYSIS
Schultz doesn't get enough done in possession to put up big scores for fantasy but he has scored four goals and three behinds over his last three starts. With another solid performance, Schultz is a decent option at the right price.

Luke Ryan
Logs 10 marks in win
Ryan collected 26 disposals (22 kicks, four handballs) and made 10 marks during Sunday's 79-64 win over the West Coast Eagles in Round 22.
ANALYSIS
Ryan has scored over 100 fantasy points in two of his last three matches to go along with his fifth game of the season recording 10 marks. In order to make Ryan a worthwhile pick, one must consider the risk as he's also failed to log at least 20 disposals in three of his last five games.
