Collingwood are set to bounce back after a Round 8 loss to Geelong that was decided after the siren.
The Magpies led that match by as much as 20 points in the third quarter and were overrun by Geelong, but had their chance with Jack Crisp’s shot missing, ending the match three-points in arrears. The Magpies now sit in 2nd position on the ladder with a win-loss record of 6-2.
Fremantle comes in at 4-4 and were disappointing in their match against St Kilda, going down to the Saints by 61 points.
Justin Longmuir’s side will be looking to regroup after being smashed at the clearances (50-22), contested possessions (151-103) and inside 50s (61-34).
The Dockers are a better side at home, having won three of four this season. But with their confidence shot and a Collingwood side on the rebound, this looks to be a tough task. Take the Magpies to cover the line, while they will restrict Fremantle’s scoring, bringing the under into play. Jamie Elliott can kick 2+ goals
- Collingwood have a win-loss record of 6-2
- The Magpies have won three of the past four against Fremantle
- Jamie Elliott is averaging two goals per game this season
- Collingwood are conceding just 69 points per game this season, the best of any side.

Fremantle have been inconsistent in 2025 and have dropped a couple of games they were expected to win in the past three weeks- a 10 point loss to Melbourne in Round 6, as well as last week’s effort. Those two losses were split by a solid 18-point win over Adelaide at Optus Stadium in Round 7.
There has been a bit of a reliance on Caleb Serong and Andrew Brayshaw in the middle of the ground. These two were quiet against the Saints and the results showed further up the ground with the Dockers managing just 5.3.33.
They rank 14th for points per game, 16th for clearances and 15th for disposals. Sarong and Brayshaw average over 27 disposals per game and there is a drop-off after that. Josh Treacy has kicked 20 goals from eight matches and will be a key target up forward.

Collingwood’s six-match winning streak ended last weekend with their three point loss to Geelong. The Magpies have had one of the toughest draws in 2025. Seven of their eight matches have been against last year’s finalists and they are 5-2 from those contests.
Josh Daicos had 32 disposals last weekend, while his brother, Nick, had 28. Nick is averaging a tick over 30 this season, while Josh is at 28. Collingwood rank 4th for clearances and 5th for inside 50s but it is their pressure that has been a standout, limiting their opposition to just 69 points per game, topping the competition for fewest points conceded.
At the other end, they have shared their goals. Brody Mihocek booted four last weekend and has 15 for the season from seven matches. Jamie Elliott has 16 from eight.
