FREMANTLE has been boosted by the return of All-Australian key back Janelle Cuthbertson for its qualifying final against North Melbourne.

The Dockers will field Cuthbertson for the first time since round two, having suffered a concussion and subsequently a broken cheekbone at training.

Bianca Webb has also returned to the side for the sudden-death clash, with Maggie MacLachlan and Jasmin Stewart making way for the pair.

North Melbourne is unchanged from the side that comfortably beat West Coast last week, with Lexi Hamilton and Amy Smith waiting in the wings as emergencies.

Former All-Australian defender Jess Duffin has been playing VFLW in recent weeks, but is not available for selection this weekend, having confirmed on her Instagram account she has contracted COVID-19.

She had already been isolating as a close contact for the past three days.
