Fremantle vs Adelaide Prediction, Tips & Odds

Round 23 kicks off on Friday night (excuse me, where’s Thursday!?) with Fremantle looking to officially lock up the minor premiership when it hosts Adelaide at Optus Stadium.

The ladder-leading Dockers arrive off the back of ‘the game they needed to lose’, falling short in a 113-109 classic against Melbourne at the MCG.

Alex Pearce will be a key inclusion after his week off, while big Sean Darcy put his hand up for selection with 56 hit-outs and 18 disposals in the WAFL. Don’t do it, JL.

Meanwhile, Adelaide slogged it out in the wet for a nine-point win over Richmond, but it was the 36-disposal, 11-clearance and one-goal performance from Izak Rankine that will have Crows fans licking their lips come finals. If he remains tight-lipped etc.

Fremantle are short enough at $1.36 and while the Crows have shown they can match it with the best, the Dockers’ home record in the west (12 in a row) remains close to untouchable.
