The last fixture in the AFL Round 15 would see the Fremantle Dockers and the Gold Coast Suns trade tackles on Sunday, June 22, at Optus Stadium in Perth. The Dockers are eighth in the standings, while the Suns occupy the 10th position.

Fremantle lost to the Western Bulldogs in Round 14 and will look to bounce back this week. Gold Coast will also eye a return to winning ways, after losing to St Kilda period to a bye in the previous round.

The Dockers are the favorites in this clash, not just because of their position in the table, but also due to Gold Coast's poor away form. The Suns are yet to win a game on the road this term, losing all six away matches.

While the home team will look to keep their spot in the top eight, the visitors will hope to break into the qualifying spot. Fremantle will look to key forward Josh Treacy for goals, while Gold Coast, in the absence of Ben King, will count on players like Joel Jefferey and Ben Long to turn up on the day.

The Suns' away record is nothing to write home about, therefore, it is difficult to imagine them upsetting the Dockers. Fremantle should take them to the cleaners.
