Fremantle forward Michael Frederick has lodged his Goal of the Year entry early, bringing the glitz of both the NBA and Premier League in the Dockers’ season opener against the Crows at Adelaide Oval.

Meanwhile Willie Rioli’s exciting return from a two-year suspension could be halted by suspension with experts calling for him to be cited for the third quarter collision with Gold Coast’s Matt Rowell.

The undermanned Eagles lost to Gold Coast 16.11 (107) to 12.8 (80) but they expect to be bolstered by a host of stars next week which could include Jack Darling.

Rioli was playing his first match since the 2019 elimination final. He kicked one goal and set up two more, including one which followed a huge collision with Rowell in a marking contest.

Sunrise's Matt Tinney explains.
