Can the Dockers get the job done on a wet evening in Perth?

Stay across the latest news and developments as Freo take on Gold Coast in their elimination final blockbuster!

Bouncedown is at 5.45pm at Optus Stadium, and we’ll keep you across the day’s earlier finals clash between GWS and Hawthorn.

Away team?

The Suns have brought their own fireworks and a banner to Perth to give themselves the welcome to finals they need to fire up.

Both teams are set to run through a guard of fans when they enter the arena shortly.

Big occasion

Jaeger O’Meara notches game 200 tonight and it comes with massive stakes.

Can he and the Dockers get a milestone victory?

Dockers’ sub

Fremantle have named Nat Fyfe as their sub for tonight.

Perfect advice

Jordan Clark has sought out Joel Selwood ahead of the bounce.

Both played together at Geelong and Selwood is one of the most finals experienced men to have ever played.

Selwood is on commentary duties with 7 tonight and they chatted for a good five minutes.

First team falls!

The Giants’ season has come to a crashing end as the Hawks prove road warriors.

Both teams were running on fumes for much of the last quarter but Hawthorn created two pivotal chances and converted to see the home side off.

Final score is 16.11 (107) to 13.10 (88).

Star in the house!

Nat Fyfe has arrived for the elimination final.

Will this be his last game in the AFL?

The Rowell moment

Matt Rowell is crouched down and having his pre-game moment before he will taste the grass.

And the surface is looking immaculate ahead of the eliminator.

Grandstand finish

The Giants have whittled down a 30-point deficet to just a single goal at the final break.

Hogan has been huge but they have sustained another couple of injuries.

It is set to be a massive last term.

First in, first served

Josh Treacy is the first player out on the ground hours before the bounce.

It’s his bare-foot routine as the big forward gets a feel for the ground.

Chances are he would have been out earlier except he had to wait for a downpour to finish.
