The Fremantle Dockers are set to play host to the West Coast Eagles on Saturday in Round 20 of the 2025 AFL season at the Optus Stadium in Perth.
Fremantle's 2025 home-and-away season got off to a very erratic start, winning just four of their first nine games. A six-game winning streak helped them turn around their fortunes before the Sydney Swans put an end to it.
With impressive victories over Collingwood and the Hawthorn Hawks, they have resumed their winning ways and are currently ranked seventh.
It would be an understatement to suggest that the Eagles have had a difficult season given how bad their play has been. They had nine defeats at the beginning of the 2025 campaign until defeating St Kilda in Round 10.
However, they failed to build momentum on that victory as they have followed it with eight more defeats, and they have continued to remain stuck at the bottom of the AFL ladder.
