At Marvel Stadium, the Western Bulldogs and Fremantle will play their final home-and-away match in Round 24 of the 2025 Australian Football League season, in a direct battle for the final two spots in the Top Eight.
The Bulldogs have shown good form this season as they have managed to take home 14 wins and eight losses this season. They are currently on a four -game winning run and sit ninth on the AFL ladder, boasting the best attack in the league with 2396 points. They are now in serious need of a win, as a loss for them and a win for the SUNS would put them out of the Top Eight.
Fremantle's 2025 home-and-away season got off to a very erratic start, winning just four of their first nine games. A six-game and five-game winning streak on either side of a loss to the Sydney Swans helped them build up steam. Last weekend, they suffered a massive loss to the Brisbane Lions and are now seventh, but only need to match the Bulldogs and the SUNS' result in Round 24 to qualify for the finals series.
