Fremantle fans will have to wait a little longer to get a glimpse of Liam Henry, with the exciting youngster failing to work his way into the Dockers’ final line-up for tonight’s clash with Carlton.

Henry was listed as the stand-by emergency ahead of the Blues clash, with last year’s No.9 draft pick closing in on a long-awaited AFL debut.

But Freo confirmed an hour before the bounce that they would line up as named.

The Dockers have already unveiled five debutants this year, blooding Sam Sturt, Hayden Young, Caleb Serong, Michael Frederick and Tobe Watson.

Of that quintet, only Serong and Frederick will line up against the Blues tonight, with Sturt this week ruled out for the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.

Carlton also made no late changes for the Optus Stadium clash, which will get underway at 6.10pm amid rain in Perth.
