Fremantle can secure the minor premiership with a win over Adelaide, but fans are struggling to get into the ground amid major train delays.
The Dockers are looking to respond after just their third loss of the season to Melbourne in an MCG classic, but will be without superstar Murphy Reid as he recovers from a groin injury.
Adelaide have left out retiring veteran Taylor Walker as they push for a top four finish with only percentage keeping them out of a double chance.
Follow all the action live.
Going nowhere
The Dockers pushed to have the first goal of the term but Adelaide repelled and went end-to-end to find Rachelle.
It’s his first touch and he makes it a goal to close the margin.

QT: Fremantle 34, Adelaide 21
The Crows started well with Freo sloppy in defence.
However, the turnaround was startling.
When the Dockers get first hands or do manage an intercept they look real hard to stop.
Amiss is towling Mark Keane up and even Serong has got in on the goalkicking act.
Young and Bolton are the leading ball winners through the middle and while Rankine has had a bit of the footy, his influence is not hurting.
Jye-ant!
Amiss missed from point blank to start the night the but now has three majors!
He popped two through from the flanks and then nails one from 35 on a slight angle.
He looks a huge issue on the lead and in the one-on-ones.

Hot in the kitchen
The pressure is high early and both teams are struggling to be clean at ground level.
Freo’s one major and two of Adelaide’s three have come from someone getting ba clean pick up off the ground and then being away.
Also does not help when Amiss hits the post from 13 metres out dead in front.

Deep consult
Laird is the unlikliest of first goal kickers and it prompts a quick meeting for the Dockers defenders.
Pearce huddles them up but it didn’t help much as the Crows go forward again and goal from the next clearance.
Fogarty on the board.
FRE 0, ADE 12
Underway!
Serong to Bolton to Jackson and the Dockers are away.
The deep inside 50 is intercepted by Key but perfect start from the middle for Fremantle.
FRE 0, ADE 0
Good record
Freo have won six of the last seven outings against the Crows by an average margin of 15 points.
And earlier this year Fremantle won by two points after a super smoother from Alex Pearce who returns to the side tonight after being rested last week.

Slow build
The train delays have had a big impact on the pre-game atmosphere with plenty of fans still getting to their seats.
We have 20 minutes until we get underway.
High stakes
A loss won’t cost Fremantle finals but a win will give them a very relaxed final round of the campaign.
If they can topple the Crows tonight, the Dockers will sew up the minor premiership.
They had the chance to do so last week but fell just short against Melbourne at the ‘G.
