Fremantle have confirmed they will take an unchanged team into the Club's Preliminary Final clash with the Sydney Swans on Friday night at the SCG.

All Australian ruckman Luke Jackson will go head-to-head with Sydney star Brodie Grundy in a duel fit for a Preliminary Final, while on-ball brigade Caleb Serong, Shai Bolton and Andrew Brayshaw will look to gain ascendancy in the middle.

Mason Cox, Isaiah Dudley, Judd McVee, Corey Wagner and Hayden Young will start on the interchange bench.

Emergencies for the clash are Brennan Cox, Jaeger O'Meara and Chris Scerri.

The last time the two teams met was in Round 18, with Freo going goalless in the first half before storming home, putting on 100 points after the main break to secure a 38-point victory at Optus Stadium.

Josh Treacy kicked four goals, while Serong and Murphy Reid were instrumental in the midfield, gathering 28 disposals apiece.

Serong will play his 150th AFL game and just his sixth final since being drafted by Fremantle with pick No.8 in the 2019 National Draft.

The winner of the clash will be the first team to book their ticket to the 2026 Toyota AFL Grand Final, to be held at the MCG on Saturday 26 September.

Fremantle will feature in a Preliminary Final for the first time in more than a decade, with 2015 the Club’s last appearance.

Friday's sold-out Preliminary Final will commence at 5.40pm WST.

The game will be broadcast live on Channel 7 from 5.30pm and Fox Footy from 4.30pm, and streamed live on Kayo and Binge from 4.30pm and 7plus from 5.30pm.
