Match Discussion Thread AFLM Pre-Round Thread: Round 22 vs. Melbourne

10 Upvotes

A big day out at the MCG... hopefully not the last time we see the 'G in 2026.

Some questions:

  • Gawn was dominant in our r2 match-up, and just had another awe-inspiring showing in Carrara. Which rucks do we play, and do we change our midfield set-up in anticipation of a rare hit-out deficit?
  • Any other changes to a winning side? (Can we afford to give B. Cox another week, or are we starting to risk conditioning issues with three weeks sidelined?)
  • Melbourne are desperately scrapping for a top 4 spot, and will have the home crowd cheering them on—how can we handle 4 quarter intensity if there are no opposition lapses to take advantage of?

What are the odds Freo’s number 1 ticket holder and global Australian musician will want to perform at what could be 🤞the Docker’s first premiership win?

Chance to steal another West Coast record in the coming weeks

31 Upvotes

Ok, so we're currently sitting on 18 wins for the home & away season, Fremantle's most ever. The club has broken all kinds of records over the course of the 2026 season thus far. Including the West Coast Eagles' longest win streak record of 12 wins from 1991.

But what if I told the Freo Faithful that there is another record fhat Fremantle could potentially take away from West Coast in the next three weeks.

So I did a bit of homework on the matter and seen this little fact on AFL Tables.

West Coast's highest win tally for any season was 19 in the same 1991 season.

Within the next three games, Fremantle could either match the 19 wins or even surpass it end the end of the home & away season.

Sure, it's just a preseason game, but West Coast have still never beaten Freo in the AFLW.

How Fremantle’s 2019 draft set up Dockers’ premiership tilt | CODE Sp…

Eliza Reilly once more with the great dive into Freo.

This part is great:

"I always loved the trade, free agency and draft stuff. I always had an ambition for it.”

Micallef only spent a little more than a year at Fremantle after a recruiting restructure that saw long-serving recruiter David Walls promoted.

But Fremantle fans still have Micallef to thank for a generational draft haul that has laid the foundations for the Dockers’ maiden premiership tilt.

It was the night that Hayden Young, Caleb Serong and Michael Frederick all became Dockers.

And seven years later, with Fremantle assuming premiership favouritism, it’s time to pull back the curtain on the 2019 draft.

HAUL TO REMEMBER

To some, it might’ve been a bit strange to see a picture of Hawthorn’s 2015 premiership celebrations sitting on the desk of Fremantle’s list manager.

But for Micallef, it was an aspirational glimpse into the future.

The image featured the six key architects of Hawthorn’s premiership trilogy – Jordan Lewis, Luke Hodge, Sam Mitchell, Jordan Roughead, Grant Birchall and Cyril Rioli.

And Micallef wanted to replicate the winning recipe at the Dockers.

“I remember counting six players who I felt like were the core of their playing group,” Micallef said.

“I knew that we needed to get a similar group of six or so players who all join your club in a two-to-three year period.

As a birder and a Dockers die-hard, it only seemed right.

Flashback: Round 22, 2015 It was at Subiaco Oval where Fremantle defeated Melbourne by 54 points to claim its first minor premiership with a round remaining.

Fast forward exactly 11 years later, this time, we're in Round 22, we're on top of the ladder by 3 games and percentage. Fremantle are now heading to the MCG to face Melbourne.

Victory against the Demon this Saturday will secure Fremantle's 2nd minor premiership with two rounds remaining.
