Fremantle can secure the minor premiership with a win over Adelaide, but fans are struggling to get into the ground amid major train delays.
The Dockers are looking to respond after just their third loss of the season to Melbourne in an MCG classic, but will be without superstar Murphy Reid as he recovers from a groin injury.
Adelaide have left out retiring veteran Taylor Walker as they push for a top four finish with only percentage keeping them out of a double chance.
Follow all the action live.
Crowd record!
Fremantle have broken the record for most consecutive 50,000-fan crowds in the home-and-away season at nine.
There is 55,010 in the house tonight.
They take the record off West Coast who set it at eight in 2018.
150
Thilthorpe has tied the scores back up with his 150th AFL goal.
Adelaide are a little lucky with the umpires through the first few minutes but Freo are making mistakes that they really shouldn’t be.

MUST WATCH!!
Caleb Serong kicked a huge goal in the third term. How far do you reckon it went?
3QT: Fremantle 76, Adelaide 69
Serong had some quarter!
He now has 20 touches, two goals and eight clearances and took a strong mark to close out the term with Adelaide looking for one last strike.
The Freo forwards are on fire but the men in purple and green are over using the ball at times.
The Dockers need to do something to stop Rankine though.
He has 30 touches and eight clearances. He also could have had two majors but missed.
Raking!
Serong has dobbed a goal from the centre square!
And he just celebrates with a wink and a high five.
Fremantle finally get their handball game right and the star midfielder finds some space in the middle.
The goalsquare was clear so he set sail and hit paydirt!
FRE 69, ADE 69
Desperate stuff
Both teams are throwing themselves around and the Crows are having the better of it as the Dockers produce some horror turnovers.
However, they have not been able to make it tell on the scoreboard and only lead by seven points.
This has the feel of a Wharfie Time game!
FRE 62, ADE 69
Lead restored
The Dockers’ forward are throwing their weight around.
Voss is losing his cool and dumping blokes but Treacy recovered from a big blow to the body to then outmuscle his man for a contested mark.
He rubs salt in by playing on and strutting into an open goal.
FRE 60, ADE 54
All square!
The Crows have levelled the scores through Brayden Cook.
Freo skipper Pearce is also showing some discomfort in his strapped up knee after colliding with a teammate.
He’s staying on the field.
FRE 48, ADE 48
HT: Fremantle 47, Adelaide 42
The Dockers had much of the play for the term but come away with only two goals to three from Adelaide.
The Crows were able to clog space in the forward line and didn’t allow their big men to take marks, instead getting the ball to ground and hunting tackles.
They were also very smart in the way they countered. The visitor’s problem is sustaining their ability to score while stopping the Dockers who only need a few metres of clean space at any given time.
Rankine has been huge with 18 touches and four clearances and his contest work has been felt in this term.
Serong leads the Dockers with 15 touches and a game-high seven clearances.
The Dockers lead the overall clearance numbers by three but are slightly behind at centre ball ups.
Brennan Cox is having a tough night for Freo, he just can’t find his footing.
Coach pleasers
Both coaches will be very pleased with how this quarter is developing.
Both defenses have managed to impose themselves and restricted the clean forward 50 entries.
It’s not half as entertaining but Nicks and Longmuir will be pleased.
The flip side for the Dockers is they are retaining possession from only 29 per cent of their inside 50 kicks and scoring from just 12.5 per cent of their entries.
