Centre clearances
The Crows are ranked equal top with Hawthorn and Gold Coast for clearances in the competition and in the top three for centre clearances.
The midfield battle will be key.
Freo better, faster, stronger.
Fremantle’s midfield has dominated this season, with David Mundy, Nat Fyfe, Michael Barlow, Stephen Hill, Clancee Pearce and Lachie Neale in near career best form.
Adelaide Oval
Fremantle has played just one game at the redeveloped Adelaide Oval that has become a cauldron for both the Crows and Port Adelaide.
Match Preview: Fremantle v Adelaide.
Freo lost its Round 8 match last year against Port by 18 points.
The ground has similar dimensions to Domain Stadium, so at least the grass will feel like home.
Indigenous Round
The AFL’s Indigenous Round has become a popular fixture each season.
It's come a long way: Danyle Pearce.
Indigenous players Danyle Pearce, Michael Walters, Stephen Hill and Michael Johnson will line up for Fremantle on Saturday night.
