Follow live: Fremantle look to keep AFLW flag hopes alive in semifinal clash against Adelaide

There’s two more late majors for Adelaide through Rachelle Martin and Abbie Ballard, and unfortunately, as Ebony Antonio hits the post from a rare shot at goal on half time, the writing is on the wall as Freo head to the rooms.

Gabby Newton returned to the action after her tough fall, and is leading the way for the Dockers with 10 touches and four clearances.

But she’s lacked support and the Dockers have had no answer for Crows superstar Ebony Marinoff. She’s racked up 17 disposals, four clearances and four tackles in a typically busy display.

Adelaide have had the past TWELVE inside-50s as they take control of the game.

It results in a snapped Hannah Munyard major, and there’s serious alarm bells ringing inside Lisa Webb’s coaching box now.

It’s 21 to 3 with just over seven minutes left until the main break... can Freo snag a major from somewhere?

Sarah Verrier and Gabby Newton led the way with six touches apiece in that opening term, while Mim Strom was her usual dominant self in the ruck with nine hitouts.

The Crows continue where they left off in the first term by making much of the early going, and it’s eventually Taylah Levy who snaps an opportunist goal.

It’s 14-3 to the Crows as Freo give up the game’s first two goals for the second straight week.

That was an action-packed last few minutes of the term - with some concern for Freo.

Gabby Newton has gone off in the arms of the trainers after a rough landing following a big fly.

Jess Low also underlined why she’s one of Lisa Webb’s favourites with a superb holding-the-ball tackle to temporarily keep the Crows at bay.

But the weight of numbers eventually leads to a Chelsea Randall soccered goal inside the final minute. The players pause for a breath!

The Dockers are under some serious pressure, with Adelaide responsible for 10 of the past 13 forward-50 entries.

But Freo get rolling on the counter and almost find the game’s opening major before Tunisha Kikoak’s shot at goal drifts right.

It’s 2-1 to the visitors with just over four minutes remaining in the first term.

Freo’s defence holds up well amid a ton of ball for the Crows - but ultimately, it’s a shot at goal for Caitlin Gould.

However, she kicks into the player on the mark! Adelaide remain scoreless almost halfway through the opening term.

It’s an encouraging first few minutes for the Dockers as they camp out in their forward half.

The Gabby combo of Newton and O’Sullivan both earn chances, but it leads to a solitary behind.

The anthem and Welcome To Country are done - now it’s time for bouncedown!

It’s Mim Strom to lead the ruck as the Dockers search for a big couple of hours...

The big team news, of course, is that Ash Brazill is good to go.

The defender missed last week’s finals opener and hasn’t played since round nine due to an ankle injury, but she’s back in the line-up today.

As well as being a key cog for Freo in their defensive half, you can’t put a price on the big-game experience Brazill boasts, having played in plenty of high-stakes games during her star-studded international netball career.

The weather report from Adelaide is HOT. It’s a scorcher at Norwood Oval, with the forecast max of 35C.

Freo will need to start better than last week’s elimination final, where they gave up the first two goals.

And they’ll definitely have to defy their own history against the Crows, which sees a record of just one win in eight games.
