Show Preview
Fremantle return to finals action for the first time since 2015 in a do-or-die clash with the Western Bulldogs as finals week one concludes in Perth. Join The Roar for live scores and rolling coverage from 8:10pm (AEST).
The Dockers have been one of the stories of the season after qualifying for the finals for the first time since 2015. It has seemed like a long rebuild but they finally have a list that is young, dynamic and has the ability to challenge for years to come.
They will be missing their veteran skipper Nat Fyfe with a hamstring concern, but will be welcoming back Rory Lobb and Griffin Logue from an injury layoff. Backup ruckman Lloyd Meek and utility Bailey Banfield, have been dropped from the lineup this week.
The other surprise in their considerably ‘tall’ lineup is second game rookie, Jye Amiss, who will get his first taste of finals football very early in his career.
The Bulldogs did what they needed to do last week against Hawthorn to win to put themselves in a position to qualify in 8th position. They have dropped key forward, Josh Bruce, and will be without gun midfielder, Tom Liberatore, as he recovers from a hamstring complaint. Taylor Duryea will miss for personal reasons but Luke Beveridge has named him on the emergency list..
The key match up in this game is the midfield. The Bulldogs engine room has long been one of the best in the business. The Dockers, however, have an emerging list that will challenge the likes of Marcus Bontempelli and Josh Dunkley, with their own guns in Andrew Brayshaw and Caleb Serong.
Will Brodie has also been one of the stories of the season and is arguably the recruit of the year.

I am picking the Dockers by a kick in a really tight one over in Perth.
