Fremantle vs Brisbane Lions Preview
Fremantle and Brisbane face off in a pivotal top-eight battle at Optus Stadium on Friday night, with just percentage separating the fourth- and fifth-placed sides. The Dockers leapfrogged the Lions last week thanks to a dramatic 92-86 victory over Port Adelaide, sealed by Alex Pearce’s match-winning goal in the final minute after overturning a 14-point deficit in the last term.
Brisbane, meanwhile, slipped out of the top four with a 92-90 loss to Sydney at the Gabba, leaving their finals hopes under growing pressure. This will be the first meeting between the clubs since Round 1 last year, when Fremantle claimed a 93-70 win at home. Caleb Serong dominated that night with a career-best 46 disposals.
With both sides eyeing a double chance in September, expect a fierce contest under lights in Perth.
