Fremantle vs Brisbane Lions Preview

Fremantle and Brisbane square off at Optus Stadium on Friday night in a crucial top-eight clash, with only percentage separating fourth from fifth. The Dockers climbed above the Lions last week after a thrilling 92-86 win over Port Adelaide, sealed by Alex Pearce’s last-minute goal that capped a stunning comeback from 14 points down in the final term.

Brisbane, on the other hand, slipped out of the top four after a heartbreaking 92-90 defeat to Sydney at the Gabba, adding pressure to their finals ambitions. This marks the clubs’ first meeting since Round 1 last year, when Fremantle prevailed 93-70 on home soil behind a career-best 46 touches from Caleb Serong.

With both sides desperate to secure a double chance in September, a fierce Friday night battle under the Perth lights is on the cards.
