Fremantle look to climb back up the ladder in 2018
Tickets to see the Fremantle Dockers at Optus Stadium this season are on sale now
Tickets to see the Fremantle Dockers at Optus Stadium this season are now available. The Dockers will play out of the brand new 60,000 capacity Optus Stadium in 2018, the pinnacle of Australian sporting stadiums.
The Dockers look ready to once again begin a surge back up the ladder this season, with skipper Nat Fyfe returning to his brilliant best in the back half of last season. After a slow start to 2017 following a horrible leg-break, Fyfe looks ready to step his game up another gear in 2018, hoping to regain the form that saw him win the Brownlow medal in 2015.
The Dockers have also recruited Nathan Wilson from GWS and Brandon Matera from the Suns, adding to their host of new draftees including pick 2 Andrew Brayshaw and pick 5 Adam Cerra.
Brayshaw impressed with his composure in the recent AFLX competition, including a great long-range Zooper goal; whilst Cerra looks ready to go in the upcoming JLT Community Series after shoulder surgery.
In a big win for fans, the Dockers will play 13 matches at Optus Stadium this season, including four in the first six rounds and four in the final five rounds. Their first game at the new stadium comes in round 2 against Essendon, on Saturday March 31, beginning at 5:10pm.
All Freo games at Optus Stadium in 2018 are now on sale, barring the two derbies against rivals West Coast, which will come on sale later in the season. Although, fans can now buy tickets to see the Dockers take on West Coast at HBF Arena in the JLT Community Series on Sunday March 11.
So, grab your tickets to see the Dockers tear up Optus Stadium in 2018, in what promises to be an exciting year for the purple haze. The time has come!
