Fremantle’s season goes on the line as they look to respond to their finals flop and get their Flagmantle dream back on track as they welcome Geelong for the first semifinal.
The Dockers have made two changes from their loss to Hawthorn, with Judd McVee and Corey Wagner returning and will be desperate to avoid becoming the second straight minor premiers to go out in straight sets.
The spotlight is on Fremantle’s forward trio to respond after not firing a shot against the Hawks, while the Cats have their own concerns with an out-of-sorts Jeremy Cameron who has not scored in over a month.
Another sellout crowd is expectant, and the atmosphere should be electric with the first ball up set for 6.10pm.
