Round six is opened with an intriguing clash between Fremantle and the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium.
The Dockers are coming off an impressive comeback win against Gold Coast and will hope to continue the winning trend.
The Dogs on the other hand would be disappointed with their efforts last week, being downed by Port Adelaide after leading for most of the match.
For tipsters, Fremantle seems to have the wood over the Bulldogs in recent times winning their last two encounters including the elimination final in 2022.
Luke Beveridge's men will be out to redeem themselves and get their year back on track, while the Rory Lobb move will no doubt cause some extra attention.
