AFL: Fremantle are chasing a sixth straight win as they host a Carlton side under massive pressure on and off the field in their showpiece Len Hall Tribute game.
The Dockers are unchanged from last week’s crushing western derby victory, while they will take on a familiar face as ex-Docker Liam Reidy leads the ruck duties for the Blues.
Carlton have a late out chossing to manage Ollie Hollands after a tough week for the entire Hollands family.
Fremantle are heavy favourites and you’d expect Carlton will need something special to cause an upset though they do possess a strong record at Optus Stadium.
Follow all the action live!
Blues hit back
Liam Reidy with a rare win out of the middle and he goes deep inside 50 and the Dockers spoil into space where Francis Evans collects and snaps nearly over his head.
A smart finish.
Three for Treacy
Luke Jackson lays a big tacke in the middle and Shai Bolton takes advantage and goes for Treacy who outmarks Weitering 25m out from goal.
He’s not missing from there.
Kemp keeps the Blues in touch
McGovern has a shot from just inside 50 and it floats across the face but Kemp jumps over Brennan Cox’s attempted spoil to take the mark and he snaps his second to get the margin back to 13.
Amiss kicks a goal that confuses everyone
Josh Treacy shows great forward pressure to turn the ball over and hit Amiss in the pocket.
He snaps and it looks like it’s floating across but it swings back late and the umpire calls it a goal.
Bizarre finish but Amiss has two.
Luke Jackson with a stunner
Wins the tap than roves his own work to receive the handball from Serong and he bursts away.
On the run from just outside 50m he launches, and it sails through for a magnificent goal.
End of Q1 FRE 3.3 (21) CAR 2.1 (13)
Fremantle are dominating just about every stat except the socreboard as they clearances 12-3.
Murphy Reid has 10 touches tied with Sam Walsh for the Blues for the most on ground.
Carlton’s kicking inside 50 has been poor but they’re doing well to hold up outside of stoppage.
Still hard to see them kicking a winning score if they change their approach going into attack.
Kemp hits back
Jacob Weitering bites off an agrressive kick to hit up Cerra who’s received boos every time he’s touched the ball.
His kick is equally as good to hit Brodie Kemp who converts from around the corner.
FRE 3.2 (20) CAR 2.1 (13)
Treacy is fine
He takes a strong contested grab in front of Weitering and converts to grab his second.
Trainers come out to him again but he stays out.
Dockers under a bit of pressure
Carlton have owened the last couple minutes with the ball in their half but their last kick inside 50 has been poor with Alex Pearce and Brennan Cox taking intercept marks,
Treacy is down
He reaches out to contest the ball but the Carlton defender runs straight into his arm and he’s down in pain.
But he gets up and waves the trainer away and he’s staying out there for now.
He’s taking some pain tablets but he was’t happy when he went for a mark which he contested one-handed and shook afterwards.
