On the other hand, Fremantle has been one of the disappointments in the 2023 season. After reaching the finals in 2022, they have only managed to secure seven wins out of their 16 games, placing them in the 14th position on the ladder. Another loss would severely impact their chances of salvaging their season.

Fremantle's previous match resulted in a 53-point defeat at home against Carlton. Despite the loss, Luke Ryan (35 disposals) and Andrew Brayshaw (32 disposals) showed some resilience, while Michael Walters contributed two goals.

However, given their struggles to move the ball swiftly and execute with precision throughout the season, it is highly unlikely that Fremantle will be able to overcome Collingwood, who have established themselves as a dominant force in 2023.
