Weather update
It’s hot!
There’s a forecast maximum of 32C in the Barossa today, and the local time bouncedown of 12.05pm puts the Dockers and Tigers right in the thick of it.
Freo played in reasonably hot conditions last Sunday against the Bulldogs, and are more adept to handling the warmer climate than the young Tigers, you’d suggest.
We’re five minutes away from seeing the confirmed final line-ups.
Welcome
Hello and welcome to our coverage of Fremantle’s clash with Richmond - in the Barossa Valley of all places!
The Dockers are taking on lowly Richmond as they eye a third consecutive win that would launch them into the top eight for the first time this year.
Bouncedown is set for 10.35am WA time, as we await to see which one of Bailey Banfield or Isaiah Dudley is named Freo’s substitute.
