Overview
- Sean Darcy's availability for Saturday's game against GWS is uncertain as he undergoes a fitness test following a jarred knee sustained against Collingwood.
- Coach Justin Longmuir remains committed to the dual-ruck setup, emphasizing the need for more time and evidence to assess its effectiveness.
- Fremantle's forward conversion issues persist, with only six marks inside 50 from 62 entries during the loss to Collingwood, highlighting a need for improved efficiency.
- Nat Fyfe's hamstring recovery has progressed ahead of schedule, with a return expected in two to three weeks, while Nathan O'Driscoll has been ruled out for this round due to an ankle flare-up.
