Treacy, who has taken the hard road to become perhaps the league's best key forward. Young, an incredibly talented high draft pick who has had to fight injuries through his career. And West, the son of a club legend now carving his own path.Fri 31 Jul 2026 at 7:22pmFri 31 Jul 2026 at 7:22pmFinal Freo- Bulldogs teams are in(AFL.com.au)No late changes for either side.Incredibly, the Dockers are stronger this week than last thanks to the inclusion of Hayden Young for Corey Wagner.The Bulldogs, on the other hand, are without Aaron Naughton and Cody Weightman (both said to be managed). In for them are Laitham Vandermeer and Louis Emmett.Fri 31 Jul 2026 at 7:18pmFri 31 Jul 2026 at 7:18pmWelcome to Friday night footy(Getty Images)Good evening and welcome back to ABC Sport's live blog coverage of the 2026 AFL season. Tonight we head west, where the all-conquering Fremantle Dockers test themselves again against the dangerous Western Bulldogs.Freo are enjoying the greatest season in club history at the moment, surely romping their way to the minor premiership as they set themselves for a run at a maiden flag. The Bulldogs are on the outside looking in at the moment, currently in the wildcard spots but hoping to jump the line into the top six. A win tonight would achieve that.Plenty of guns out there tonight and lots to play for. Should be a good one, so stick around and keep me company.
