Fremantle will take on St Kilda in their final AFLW practice match before the 2025 NAB AFLW Season begins

Fremantle has named its team for their pre-season practice match against St Kilda at Victor George Kailis Oval on Saturday 2 August, following a 22-point win against the West Coast Eagles in what was a successful pre-season hit-out.

The pre-season clash comes just 15 days out from Fremantle’s official season opener, offering fans another look at new recruits and the hard work the side has put in throughout a long pre-season.

Bounce down for Saturday morning’s practice match at Victor George Kailis Oval is at 9am WST.

The match has now ended.

Returning stars Kiara Bowers and Ange Stannett headline the line-up, with the pair named in the midfield, joining ruck Mim Strom, Gabby Newton and wingers Orlagh Lally and Jess Low.

Bowers and Stannett made appearances in the match simulation against the Eagles, both making an impact across the ground and playing their role after the pair missed the 2024 season (pregnancy and ACL injury).

Fremantle’s new recruits are featured throughout the ground, with Indi Strom named in the backline, Georgie Brisbane named as a forward, and Evie Parker, Matilda Banfield and Poppy Stockwell all named on the extended interchange bench.

Brisbane has been a pivotal part of Fremantle’s new forward line, showcasing well-timed leads and strong aerial ability over the pre-season.

Veteran Hayley Miller has been named at full forward after booting three goals against West Coast last week.
