Fremantle CEO Simon Garlick has given an update on who Fremantle may face at Optus Stadium in August.

The AFL released the round eight fixture on Monday, with Freo playing Geelong on Monday 27 July at Optus Stadium.

Freo are then set take on Collingwood - the remaining WA hub team - the following week in round nine, with the date and time to be confirmed by the AFL.

Garlick said that two more Victorian teams would likely head over to WA after Freo had played the Cats and Magpies.

“What we’re hearing is like everyone else, that Carlton and the Bulldogs are next in line,” Garlick told 6PR.

“The easiest way to look at it is a process of elimination, the sides that neither us or West Coast have played this year, and those who haven’t played each other (will come over to WA next).

“The AFL wants to get them over to play three games basically so I know Richmond are part of that group, North Melbourne as well so we’re hearing probably what you guys are at the moment that Carlton the Bulldogs are the next cabs off the rank.”

Garlick said Fremantle were thrilled to finish off a ‘positive’ hub experience with wins against Adelaide and St Kilda.

“Clearly we’ve been competitive in every game so it was disappointing not to get an immediate return but the last two weeks particularly, and after quarter-time on Saturday, was incredibly pleasing,” Garlick said.

“I think we’re seeing the style that Justin wants to play and particularly with a few men down in was an incredibly heartening win.

“We’ve got a young group, a new coach, so the opportunity to be together for that period of time was really beneficial on a number of fronts.”
