LIVE AFL: Ex-Docker set for hostile reception in crunch clash for Dogs

Fremantle and the Western Bulldogs will be desperate for a win to ease the pressure index amid underwhelming seasons thus far when the sides collide at Optus Stadium on Friday night.

The Dockers (2-3, 99%) just edged out the Gold Coast Suns in Gather Round, but have been far from convincing in the opening five rounds of the season.

The Dogs (2-3, 76.8%) have also had a fluctuating form line to start the year, while Rory Lobb will face his old side for the first time since moving across to the Dogs in the final minutes of last year’s trade period.
