The Eagles remain a game clear in second spot on the ladder despite being beaten up by North Melbourne in Hobart last round, but they have a tricky run to September and can't afford to slip up in Western Derby 48 against Fremantle. The Dockers have endured an ordinary five weeks â€" apart from a shock win over Port Adelaide â€" and are struggling to hit the scoreboard, but could rush back spearhead Matt Taberner after his return at Peel and Harley Bennell is in the mix for his long-awaited comeback. Freo could derail the Eagles' top-two ambitions with an upset but will be more desperate to end a run of six successive losses in the WA showcase. The occasion will be marked by the handing out of retrospective Ross Glendinning Medals, while the first Glendinning-Allan Medal will be awarded to best afield after the Dockers fought for recognition on the award in a bitter stoush before the round six derby.
