Collingwood will be desperate to rediscover their identity when they welcome the high-flying Fremantle Dockers to the fast Adelaide Oval deck Pies were at their most vulnerable against Brisbane in Round 4, suffering a heavy 54-point loss. Their clearance count (-18) was the second-worst differential recorded under coach Craig McRae Fremantle is playing with genuine premiership swagger, most recently securing a heart-stopping 2-point victory over the Crows in Round 4 Key Players Collingwood’s Dan Houston has been a consistent bright spot, accumulating 32 disposals (81% efficiency) and 12 rebound 50s last round as he attempted to launch counter-attacks from a besieged defence Fremantle’s Caleb Serong is in Brownlow-medal form, recording 32 disposals, 13 contested possessions and 8 tackles in a tireless Round 4 performance

Fremantle won the most recent meeting by a single point in Round 19 of 2025, but the Magpies have an historically strong record at Adelaide Oval with a 67% win percentage This match will be decided in the engine room; if Collingwood can regain contested-ball parity, they have the structure to frustrate the Dockers' efficient transition game TIP: Fremantle by 18+

Pies: $2.46 (11th behind Adelaide, 2-0-2, 309 for, 332 against, 93.1%) Freo: $1.49 (4th behind the Suns, 1-0-3 , 399 for, 299 against, 133.4%).

Captain Jordan Dawson (Adelaide, 107AF) and Cal Serong (Fremantle, 98) are the top-ranked players. Adelaide’s Josh Rachele was electric in the loss to Geelong, recording 31 disposals, seven clearances, 13 contested possessions, and a goal in a dynamic midfield role Fremantle midfield star Caleb Serong was the catalyst against the Tigers, finishing with 32 disposals, 9 clearances, and 2 goals in a complete performance

Adelaide was competitive for much of their clash against Geelong but ultimately fell by 8 points. It was their second narrow loss of the season, indicating a side that is consistently in the contest but lacks finishing polish Fremantle produced a clinical performance against Richmond in Round 3, racking up a 60-point win. The speed on transition and ability to generate constant scoring opportunities showcased a ceiling few teams can match Head-to-Head Freo have held the upper hand recently, winning the last two meetings, including an 18-point victory in Round 7 of 2025 and a 35-point win in 2024. Crows’ last win against the Dockers was in 2023 Adelaide must control the tempo to prevent Fremantle from using their damaging handball-receive game. However, Freo’s efficiency—scoring from over half of their entries this season—is currently the benchmark of the competition TIP: Fremantle by 20+

Adelaide: 13th, 1-0-2; 241 for/against: 100%; Fremantle: 3rd, 2-0-1; 321 for, 223 against; 143.9%).

Fremantle will be looking to secure their first win of 2026 when they welcome a revitalised Melbourne to Optus Stadium. Recent Form: Fremantle (13th, 0W, 1L) fell short by 10 points against Geelong despite a dominant start. They were efficient early, posting their highest first-quarter score outside Western Australia and scoring from 75% of forward entries Melbourne (7th, 1W, 0L) produced an early "Match of the Year" contender to edge out St Kilda by 13 points. They recorded 82 marks as they embraced a faster, more attacking ball movement style Key Players: Fremantle ruck Luke Jackson was dominant in Round 1, finishing with 27 disposals, 22 hitouts, 10 clearances and a goal Demons forward Jacob van Rooyen was breathtaking against the Saints, booting a career-high 6 goals to become the focal point of the new system

Head-to-Head: Melbourne won the most recent encounter in Round 6, 2025, by 10 points at the MCG. However, Fremantle has won 2 of the last 3 head-to-head matches overall The Dockers are notoriously difficult to beat in Perth, but Melbourne's new offensive flair under Steven King presents a massive challenge for the Fremantle defence TIP: Fremantle by 20+

Geelong returns to their fortress looking to avoid a dangerous 0-2 start against a Fremantle side with rising top-four credentials Geelong (11th, 0W, 1L) was uncharacteristically lethargic in the Opening Round loss to the Gold Coast, struggling with the Suns' tactical speed in a 56-point defeat Fremantle (6th in 2025, 16W, 7L) has yet to play in 2026 but looked sharp in match simulations, with its forward-half pressure and aerial dominance

Geelong's Tanner Bruhn flourished in a new role off half-back against the Suns, finishing with a team-high 31 disposals to provide a rare spark of rebound Fremantle's Josh Treacy enters the season as an All-Australian contender after a dominant pre-season where he averaged 10 marks and 6 contested grabs per hit-out Geelong thrashed the Dockers by 78 points at this venue in early 2025, but Fremantle has found recent success at GMHBA Stadium, winning two of their last three visits to the Cattery The Cats' reliance on veteran experience was exposed by the Suns' youth, and Fremantle's high-pressure midfield is perfectly suited to exploit Geelong's defensive transition speed TIP: Fremantle by 10+

Geelong sits on 12th (69 for, 125 against) but Freo have yet to play. They’re listed as 14th
