Fremantle vs West Coast Prediction & Betting Tips: AFL 2025 Round 20
Dockers One Step Closer to September
Fremantle are on fire right now and coach Justin Longmuir has the Dockers firing on all cylinders with an 8-1 record from their past nine matches. The only blemish in that time was an 11-point loss to Sydney at the SCG. The past two have been impressive from Fremantle, defeating Hawthorn by 13 points at Optus Stadium before travelling to the MCG with a comeback win against Collingwood, which they ended up winning by one point. Patrick Voss destroyed Darcy Moore up forward kicking six goals and Caleb Serong had to be checked for leather poisoning after his 37 disposals, one goal and 671 metres gained.
Reid Likely to Stay
It’s hard to find anything positive to write about West Coast’s 2025 campaign, but young star Harley Reid is looking increasingly likely to sign an extension to stay at the Eagles. With that potential positive news behind us, let’s turn to their recent form. It is abysmal to say the least with a 49-point thumping at the hands of Richmond who have won just five matches this season, two of them against the Eagles. The most recent close encounter the Eagles had was against North Melbourne when losing 62-52, when they kicked like Shaq from the free throw line (6.16 for the match).
Recent H2H History
Fremantle have won seven of the last eight Western Derbies, including a 106-68 victory in Round 3 this year. Serong won his fourth Glendinning-Allan Medal, while Andrew Brayshaw and Luke Jackson were pivotal in the 38-point win. Both Brayshaw and Serong have been influential in recent clashes between the sides with both averaging more than 30 disposals in the last four contests. Former Cat Jordan Clark boasts a 7-1 record over the Eagles and has had 24 or more disposals in three of the past four against their crosstown rival.
Dockers by How Many? Here’s our Fremantle vs West Coast Tip
This should simply be a case of how big the final margin of victory will be for Fremantle. The Eagles concede 102.3 points per game and the Dockers score 83.9, which is likely to get a bolster once the final siren sounds at Optus Stadium. The ruck and clearance battle should be dominated by Fremantle with Jackson and Sean Darcy to share ruck duties. Up forward, Josh Treacy, Voss, Shai Bolton and Jye Amiss will be keen to kick multiple goals against a shaky Eagles defence. This one could be a demolition.

Fremantle vs West Coast Prop Bet
Our Best Player Prop Bet: Treacy 3+ Goals
The Dockers leading goalkicker for 2025 was goalless against Collingwood as Voss stepped up. He is having a lean run now and kicked three against the Eagles last time they met. In fact, he has kicked three on consecutive occasions against West Coast.
Josh Treacy 3+ Goals

Fremantle vs West Coast Same Game Multi
Fremantle 40+: A little bet of insurance in case Fremantle falls short of the 50.5 line. They really should beat the Eagles by 40+ based on current form and recent history.
Josh Treacy 2+ Goals: For the reasons mentioned above, but just in case he falls a goal short, this is a lower risk leg for the SGM.
Caleb Serong 25+ Disposals: Four-time best on ground against West Coast, Serong should get plenty of footy as the Dockers midfield dominates the Eagles.
Shai Bolton 2+ Goals: Expecting Bolton to be dangerous around the ground and up forward, he averages close to two goals against the Eagles in his career.
