The timings of Fremantle’s Sir Doug Nicholls Round games in rounds 10 and 11 have been confirmed, with Freo playing Collingwood on Sunday 22 May at Optus Stadium and Melbourne on Saturday 28 May at the MCG.

Bouncedown for the Collingwood clash is a 3.20pm WST while Freo are set for a Saturday twilight game against Melbourne with bouncedown at 4.35pm EST.

Fremantle will wear a purple version of their 2022 Indigenous jumper against Collingwood and a clash version against Melbourne as the league continues to recognise and celebrate Indigenous players and culture around the AFL.

The jumpers will be a new design for 2022, with the designer and jumpers to be unveiled in the leadup to the Collingwood clash.

Both games are set to be crucial for Fremantle’s season. Collingwood are currently eighth and could be a likely challenger alongside Fremantle as both teams push for a return to finals football.

The Melbourne game at the MCG will be the perfect test for the young Freo Dockers against the reigning premiers on their home turf.

Fremantle’s next seven games are now locked in under the AFL’s rolling fixture, with the remining 11 rounds to be confirmed in due course.
