Fremantle will play their pre-season fixtures against Collingwood and West Coast Eagles in back-to-back weekends as they prepare for the upcoming 2024 NAB AFLW Season. 

In a RAC derby preview, Fremantle and the Eagles will face each other in a Match Simulation Training at Lathlain Oval, Friday 9 August, 5pm (WST). Public access to attend the Match Simulation Trainings will be communicated on Club channels in the days leading up to the event.

The following week will see Fremantle host Collingwood for a Practice Match at Fremantle Oval, Saturday 17 August, 10am (WST), which is free to attend for all fans. It will be the first opportunity for fans to see Fremantle's fresh faces, following another successful trade period at the end of 2023.

The AFL announced on Friday morning that all Match Simulation Trainings will run from Friday 9 August to 11 August, and Practice Matches will occur the week after from Friday 16 August to 18 August.

Teams will be announced by the AFL at 3.30pm (WST) the day before each Practice Match.

All Practice Matches will be streamed via Club websites.

AFL Executive General Manager of Football Laura Kane said she was looking forward to the upcoming Practice Matches and Match Simulation Trainings.

“The AFL are really excited for the upcoming 2024 NAB AFLW Season. A lot of work has gone into preparing for this season and anticipation is sky-high. I can’t wait to see my first glimpse of the competition before the opening week at the end of August,” Ms. Kane said.

“I encourage all fans to get to the games and catch a sneak peek of your new teams, coaches, draftees, players and game plans – all for free!”
