Brazill returns for Dockers, Hawks unchanged

Fremantle defender Ash Brazill has overcome an ankle injury in time to return in their AFLW semi-final.

After being withdrawn late from their elimination final, Brazill has been named in the Dockers squad set to take on Adelaide at Norwood Oval on Saturday afternoon.

The former netballer has not played since injuring her ankle in round nine against GWS.

Her return is one of two changes for Fremantle, with an injury to Amy Mulholland forcing coach Lisa Webb's hand.

Mulholland suffered a concussion after landing on her neck and back while attempting a courageous mark early in the final term of their 10-point elimination final win over Essendon.

Utility Ariana Hethering has been recalled, while Joanne Cregg has been omitted.

Adelaide have dropped Lily Tarlinton for Abbie Ballard.

Meanwhile, Hawthorn will enter Saturday night's semi-final clash with Port Adelaide unchanged, with midfielder Jasmine Fleming and defender Ainslie Kemp cleared of injuries from last weekend's clash with Brisbane.

Fleming suffered a severe calf cramp while Kemp sustained cervical whiplash in an incident with opponent Belle Dawes.

Kemp was assessed for a concussion after the incident but was able to return to the field, only missing one training session following the game.

Port Adelaide have also opted against making any changes.
