“We need to be transparent with what it looks like,” Fremantle’s head of football Joe Brierty told ABC Radio. “It is going to be something that’s on people’s mind. Who knows how the game is going to play out with a couple of games before us that could influence whether we are playing finals footy or not?

Brierty emphasized the need for the players to have a clear picture before the match while aiming for a win against the challenging Port Adelaide.
Key Matchups to Watch

- Pressure at stoppages will define the game's outcome.
- Fremantle's ability to counter Port's defensive prowess is crucial.
“Their ability to hold field position with their midfielders is where the game is going to be won and lost,” Brierty remarked.
