Fremantle (7-5-1) continued its rollercoaster ride of a season with a listless defeat to the Western Bulldogs that followed a crushing victory over Melbourne with a bye in between.

The Dockers remain a work in progress, especially in trying to find the right balance between defence and attack, but a dose of consistency could be enough to hold onto their place in the top eight with a kind draw to come.

Gold Coast (7-6) will again be out to clinch their first win on the road this season to stay in touch with the top eight, after losses in all six matches away from their homes.

The Suns should hold few fears of visiting Optus Stadium after victories in their past two visits, though they are yet to beat the Dockers at the venue with a pair of defeats.

Heath Chapman and Corey Wagner are back for Freo with Hugh Davies to make his AFL debut, while Josh Draper is omitted, Michael Walters is injured and Brandon Walker is out through illness.

The Suns have made five changes, regaining Wil Powell, Jake Rogers, Sam Day, Jarrod Witts and Brandon Ellis in place of Brayden Fiorini, Ben King, Nick Holman, Jed Walter and Ned Moyle.
