NEW FREMANTLE skipper Nat Fyfe will make his long-awaited return to football against arch-rival West Coast in Saturday's JLT Community Series clash in Geraldton.

Meanwhile, Eagles fans will get their first look at former Hawthorn champion Sam Mitchell and ex-North Melbourne veteran Drew Petrie at a sold-out Wonthella Oval.

Fyfe has been named in the Dockers' final 26-man team for his comeback game after breaking his leg in round five last season.

The superstar midfielder is joined in Freo's final side by recruits Bradley Hill, Cam McCarthy, Joel Hamling and Shane Kersten, who will make their debuts in purple.

Veteran defender Michael Johnson is also back after missing most of last season with hamstring and knee injuries.

Draftee ruckman Sean Darcy will debut for Freo, with fellow draftee Brennan Cox, Ethan Hughes and Sam Collins cut from the final side.

After taking a young side to face the Giants in regional NSW last weekend, the Eagles have loaded up with big names.

Dual Coleman medallist Josh Kennedy, skipper Shannon Hurn, Matt Priddis, Luke Shuey, Andrew Gaff, Jack Darling, Mark LeCras and Jeremy McGovern are all set for their first games of the pre-season.

Kurt Mutimer, Tom Gorter and Francis Watson are out of the Eagles' final team.

With temperatures soaring towards 40 degrees, the AFL has enacted the heat policy for Saturday's clash.

Quarters will be set at 22 minutes, with eight-minute breaks at quarter-time and three quarter-time, and a 22-minute interval at half-time.
