Analysis
Fremantle have won seven consecutive games for the first time under Justin Longmuir and are humming - scoring triple figures in five of eight matches while holding the stingiest defence in the competition. Hawthorn drew with Collingwood but dominated general play and arrived here having won only once in their past eight meetings with the Dockers. Home advantage at Optus Stadium is significant.
