Fremantle Dockers vs Carlton Blues Preview

Fremantle returns to Optus Stadium in strong form, riding a five-game winning streak into its clash with a struggling Carlton side. The Dockers were dominant in last week’s derby, with Jordan Clark and Jye Amiss leading the charge. Carlton’s issues remain, having squandered multiple leads this season, including last round’s loss to Collingwood. Fremantle’s system and home-ground advantage make them difficult to counter. The Blues must address their inconsistency to remain competitive.
