For the second time this season, COVID-19 has forced a change to the AFL’s fixture, with the Brisbane Lions now hosting the Fremantle Dockers at the Gabba instead of travelling to Perth. Keep an eye on proceedings with out live scores on The Roar from 4:40pm (AEST).
The COVID situation in Western Australia saw the AFL make the change mid-week, switching a later-season fixture between these two sides around so the Lions could face the Dockers at home here.
It’s an ideal boon for the Lions, who themselves had a home clash with Collingwood swapped after their own COVID drama back in Round 3. Having won three games in a row, including a 49-point thrashing of flag fancies Port Adelaide last week, Chris Fagan’s men look every inch the premiership contender they have been for the last few years.
While reigning Brownlow Medallist Lachie Neale remains on the sidelines with an ankle injury, Hugh McCluggage has stepped up in his absence, the rising star enjoying a career-best season. Stopping the skilful winger will be priority number one on Freo coach Justin Longmuir’s to-do list.
The Dockers’ own three-match winning streak was brought to a crashing halt with a humiliating loss to crosstown rivals West Coast in the Western Derby. Compounding that loss was injuries to young defenders Ethan Hughes and Heath Chapman, the blows leaving Longmuir with barely 22 fit players to choose from for this match.
However, he still does have Nat Fyfe to call on, and you can guarantee the superstar skipper will leave no stone unturned in trying to earn his team an upset win.

No "false stats". The stats are available everywhere footy games are reviewed. Until you know how to read them, you might be best to internalize your comments. I notice you have conveniently forgotten that your comment was about Blakely.

Don where do you pull these false stats from about Freo players all the time it’s embarrassing these porky pies you come up with.Has Fyfe kicked 2-13 or 13-2 this year? His kicking has gone from bad to worse. Great competitor but his kicking cost us a GF.

No mention of the lions big outs there two best midfielders Neale and Berry just to name a couple. Freo will never play finals with the forward line we have at the moment. Even the once reliable Walters seems to be on the way out sadly.

Lions went home at half time. Very ordinary

How much do you think they lost by?
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Played really well. That betting slip troubling you again?
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Not frustrating at all. He is one of the joys to watch for me. Tabs always competes and usually wins one on ones. The problem was that Lobb doesn't compete and didn't offer an alternative. That left Tabs with too many defenders to deal with. When Darcy was there, the goals came from Tabs...and Darcy.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Hardly deplorable. That's a word you'd use for Richmond's effort this weekend. If you don't know the circumstances of this game and don't see 4 goals as a better than expected result, there's something wrong with how you see the game.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
It was an outstanding effort, considering the outs. Darcy was outstanding.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Bolton? You're joking. Logue is far better value. Henry and Western will be way better than Bolton. You get seduced by BT.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Wasn't offered up at all. Hagdorn rumour.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Wow! Just wow! "...his butchering the ball and lack of skill " JLo only had Blakely on the field for 53% of game time. Did you know he got it 16 times in half a game and his disposal efficiency was....wait for it...100%? What do you have to say about that "butchering"?

Sunday twilight and night games are the worse for sure. We had one i think it was st kilda and when we play you its a Sunday twilight game too. Don't quote me on that but i think it is but.defs a sunday game.
Jonboy
Roar Rookie
Blakely has a red hot go and finds the footy for sure but we have seen enough of his butchering the ball and lack of skill and defensive game. Doubt he will even get a extension on his contract. Was offered up for trade but no interest was shown.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
That snap, with both feet, has worked really well for him. It is a percentage positive shot.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
You two...!
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Both. Duh! Read the thread. Look at the moments. That many out, another one early in game and only 4 goals... You and Richmond?
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Good to see you entertaining the comparison. I don't think I agree with you completely. Dusty does go missing but he's not soft. But yes, many similarities. We're agreeing a lot lately.
