Fremantle vs Hawthorn Prediction & Betting Tips: AFL 2025 Round 18
Purple Patch Paused: Freo Stumble in Sydney
Fremantle were looking like the form side of the competition, having won five straight games and surging into the top eight. But they hit a road bump in Round 17, going down to the Swans by 11 points on the road. They’ll be back at Optus Stadium this week, where they have a 5-2 record this year and have looked a far better team. The form of Caleb Serong and his ability to break a tag has been worrisome over the last few weeks, getting held by Marcus Windhager in Round 16 before James Jordan did a number on him on the weekend.
Fortune Favours the Brown and Gold
The Hawks have won four straight games and overcame a bullish St Kilda side by 20 points in their most recent clash. Despite the Saints having the top six disposal getters on the ground and winning the inside 50 battle, the Hawks were able to convert their chances at a better percentage than their opponents, kicking 14.10 compared to the Saints 10.14 to come away with what could be considered a lucky win. Ruckman Lloyd Meek was best on ground for the Hawks, winning the battle against an in-form Rowan Marshall.
Hawks Healthy, Dockers Dangerous Ahead of Perth Clash
The Hawks look really solid on the injury list at the moment. Will Day looks to be aiming for a return just before finals while Josh Weddle’s timeline for a return remains unclear. Outside of those two players, the Hawks should be full strength for the trip to Perth. The Dockers are also pretty solid on the injury front at the moment, having injected some serious talent back into the line-up over the last few weeks. Hayden Young remains the key piece on the sidelines but is tracking to make a return next week.
Dockers or Hawks? Here’s our Fremantle vs Hawthorn Tip
The two teams open locked at $1.90 apiece in the betting markets, and like the bookies, I’m finding them pretty hard to split. Despite the loss last week, I am leaning slightly towards the Dockers here being back at Optus Stadium. They have looked a far better outfit in front of a home crowd this season, and have a little more to play for as they sit outside the eight looking in. Their squad strength is arguably the best in the league at the moment, and the form of Luke Jackson is ominous. I think they get the job done at home.

Fremantle vs Hawthorn Player Prop Bet
Our Best Player Prop: Maboir Chol 2+ Goals
Pretty good value for the Hawks full forward to hit the scoreboard twice here at $2.02, considering he has kicked 12 goals in his last four games, including a big bag of five against the Roos a few weeks ago. We saluted on him to kick 2+ against the Saints last week, backing him to do so again here.

Luke Jackson Anytime Goalscorer - The ruck/forward has been spending slightly more time forward than in the ruck lately as the tandem alongside Sean Darcy is finally firing on all cylinders. Jackson has booted nine goals in his last four games, kicking at least two in each of them, and is the 2nd rated player in the AFL over that stretch.
Andrew Brayshaw 25+ Disposals - Has picked up the slack of his running mate Caleb Serong over the last few weeks, racking up 27.8 disposals in the last five.
Jai Newcombe 20+ Disposals - Has been the standout midfielder for the Hawks this season, taking his game to the next level. Has had 20+ in 12/16 games this season and is averaging 23.8 per game.
