Fremantle Dockers vs West Coast Eagles Preview
The second Western Derby of 2022 will take place when Fremantle battles West Coast at Optus Stadium on Saturday night.
The Dockers are still playing for a top-four finish in 2022, while the Eagles are destined to finish in the bottom two.
Fremantle claimed its 13th win of the campaign last weekend by upsetting the Bulldogs 95-78 at Marvel Stadium.
Rory Lobb was instrumental in that victory, putting through four goals, while Luke Ryan was also influential with 32 disposals at 96.9% efficiency.
Meanwhile, West Coast came up just short of sending Josh Kennedy out in style, losing 102-86 to Adelaide at Optus Stadium despite the retiring champion’s incredible eight-goal performance.
The Eagles have now lost 15 of their last 16.
The latest fixture between these clubs came in Round 3 and saw Fremantle claim a dominant 102-47 victory behind Lachie Schultz’s 23-disposal, two-goal performance, seeing him awarded the Glendinning-Allan medal.
