Fremantle will make at least two changes to their side for Saturday’s Richmond clash, after ruckman Sean Darcy (hamstring) and midfielder Jaeger O’Meara (suspension) were ruled out.

Darcy’s injury means Luke Jackson is set to take on the lead ruck role, with forward Josh Treacy as his back-up.

Michael Walters is a strong chance to return from a calf injury, while Liam Henry, Will Brodie and Neil Erasmus are among the other contenders to earn a recall.

Richmond, under caretaker coach Andrew McQualter, beat GWS by six points last Sunday.

That victory came a week after falling 10 points shy of second-placed Port Adelaide.

The Tigers sit a lowly 13th on the ladder with just four wins and a draw to their name, but Longmuir is wary of the danger they pose.

“A lot of their games that they’ve lost this year have been one or two kicks. They’ve been in every game they’ve played,” he said.

“They’re really dangerous in some of the things that have held them in really good stead for a lot of years.”

Fremantle announced on Wednesday their succession plan for the presidency.

Dale Alcock, appointed as the club’s fifth president in November 2016, will step down at the end of this year.

Chris Sutherland, who joined Fremantle’s board in November 2021, will take over the top job in December.
