Fremantle is coming off two consecutive games where it looked a chance to steal unexpected wins, only to fall away in the final quarter. The Dockers now must face a fourth-placed Collingwood side without key playmakers Gabby O'Sullivan and Janelle Cuthbertson but may get the dynamic Ebony Antonio back for her first game of the season. They have gone head-to-head with Collingwood five times throughout AFLW history, and won the last four, keeping the Pies to just 10 inside 50s when they met last season.
Jaimee Lambert looms as a key player in this one, likely to match up on Fremantle dynamo Kiara Bowers. Back in 2020 when these two sides played in a thriller at Fremantle Oval, Lambert had arguably a career-best game, winning 32 disposals and laying eight tackles, almost singlehandedly getting the Pies over the line. Kiara Bowers, meanwhile, is coming off one of the all-time great individual games, where she had 29 disposals, 19 tackles and 11 clearances. It will be a midfield face-off that will be intriguing to watch.
