THURSDAY, JUNE 18

Fremantle vs. Geelong

Optus Stadium, 8:10pm [AEST]

Team news: Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir has some tough selection calls this week, with Brennan Cox (knee), Caleb Serong (calf), and Matthew Johnson (hamstring) all expected to be fit and available for Thursday night's blockbuster against Geelong, while Sean Darcy has had two WAFL games as part of his comeback from injury. Meanwhile, Cats star Tom Stewart missed the win over Gold Coast but will exit protocols this week, though he is still no guarantee. James Worpel couldn't have done much more to put his hand up for selection after 36 disposals and two goals in the VFL's monster win over the Suns.
