Fremantle take on the Swans on Saturday night at Optus Stadium.

Here are some interesting numbers to look out for.

85.7 per cent centre bounce attendance
Nat Fyfe’s absence due to injury against the Swans means Fremantle need to fill his role in the middle, with Fyfe attending 85.7 per cent of centre bounces when playing this season.
In Wednesday’s media conference, senior coach Ross Lyon agreed with a suggestion that mid/defender Connor Blakely (6.4 per cent centre bounce attendance) could spend more time in the middle.
Other potential names to build their midfield time include Andrew Brayshaw (24.7 per cent), Darcy Tucker (14.1) and Adam Cerra (2.6).
