Welcome back to the SENWA studio out here at Optus Stadium this morning on this Wednesday in Perth.
Eliza Reilly joins me on the line now. Of course, Eliza, the gun AFL and AFLW rider from CODE Sports. Eliza, welcome.

**Eliza Reilly** (1:17)
Good morning, Duff.

**Mark Duffield** (1:19)
How are you this fine Wednesday morning, Eliza?

**Eliza Reilly** (1:22)
I'm very happy with the blue skies and the warm weather we've got, at least for one day. I love a bit of winter sunshine when you're about to head out to some Eagles AFLW training and see how the girls are tracking ahead of the season. That will start a little over a month away.

**Mark Duffield** (1:38)
We'll get back to AFLW. We've got a lot to talk about on that front. Let's start with some AFL. So Fremantle goes to Adelaide to play Port Adelaide this week.
No Butters, no Rosie, no Georgiardis, no Horne Francis. And we're hearing that Alea Alea is also sore. So if Fremantle are going to arrest one to two players at some stage over the last six weeks of the season, is this the game to do it?

**Eliza Reilly** (2:08)
Absolutely. And they've bought themselves the right to arrest players with how they've obviously applied themselves in the last few weeks and beating Sydney to extend that advantage at the top of the ladder. So like you said, with Port losing so many key players and looking like they're going to not put up as much fight as they have in recent weeks, is definitely an opportunity for the Dockers to rest a few. But whether they take that remains to be seen because obviously heading into the back half of the season and finals, you know, there is the pre-finals by which the Dockers will definitely get this year given they ask that to finish in that top six. And then if you win your first final, you get another week off between that and the prelim. So there will be opportunities for the Dockers to rest players if things go to plan in finals. So there's still plenty on the line to play for this season. There's individual accolades in the case of someone like Luke Jackson, who's, you know, trying to win his first All-Australian Blazer. Not that the Dockers would be putting too much thought and consideration into something like that, but obviously he's had probably slightly quieter two weeks in the last fortnight and had that really good battle groundy on Thursday night, which was physical and brutal, and both guys really gave it their all. But there still is a lot for the Dockers to play for. And, you know, it's a question of whether they do flirt with form and fitness heading into the finals.

**Mark Duffield** (3:37)
It's an interesting one, isn't it? And you're right, the pre-finals by does change a lot, I think, and also the notion that they're almost certainly gonna finish top two changes a lot now, because you get the home qualifying final, you will start favourite in that game. If you win that game, then you get the week off as well. So, they kind of gotta make sure they don't have too much footy. They've also gotta make sure they have enough as well. And it may be that managing them in game is a better option than managing them by leaving them out of games. I'm not sure, I'm on the fence a little bit about this one. If you had to pick an all Australian team right now, how many freemantle players would you have in it? And who would they be?
