Fremantle vs Hawthorn kick-off: Thu, Sep 3 at 5.10am ET / 11.10am BST / 8:10pm AEST

Minor premiers Fremantle's bid to win that elusive first flag continues with a home clash against Hawthorn, who finished fourth in the ladder. They met once in the home-and-away campaign, again at Optus Stadium, and produced a ripper of a game.

With Jack Gunston running riot, the Hawks were 19 points up at one point during their Round 9 clash, only for the Dockers to conjure an extraordinary turnaround and win it at the death. Justin Longmuir haven't dropped a home game all season, but that's about the nearest they've come.

Jye Amiss, Heath Chapman, Sam Switkowski and Murphy Reid are set to return to the Fremantle linup for the Qualifying Final, but Brennan Cox is out of action. The defender was just about the only real resistance Gunston faced when the teams met in May. Jack Ginnivan is back in action for Sam Mitchell's men.

As indicated, Optus Stadium has been a real stronghold for the Freos, who this season have won their 12 home fixtures by an average of 38 points. The Hawks, meanwhile, last tasted victory on Fremantle turf in 2018.
