Fremantle Dockers vs Adelaide Crows Preview

Fremantle can secure the minor premiership when it hosts Adelaide at Optus Stadium, but the Dockers are seeking a response after a 113-109 loss to Melbourne. Luke Jackson impressed against his former club, while Murphy Reid and Andrew Brayshaw were kept quieter than usual. Adelaide arrives after edging Richmond 63-54, with Izak Rankine producing a career-high 36 disposals, 11 clearances and a goal. The Crows remain firmly in the finals race, although Brisbane has moved narrowly ahead of them in the top-four contest. Fremantle won the Round 4 meeting by two points and its home-ground advantage should again be significant. Josh Treacy, who has regularly found the scoreboard against strong opposition, shapes as a prominent early target.
