A Western Derby will start the season for West Coast and Fremantle as they square off in an AFL match simulation at Mineral Resources Park on Saturday.
After a wooden spoon in 2023, the Eagles will be keen to show some improvement, with the likes of no.1 draft pick Harley Reid coming through at the club.
The Dockers struggled last season, missing the finals, and will be hoping to be a top eight contender in 2024.
The Sporting News explains how you can watch the match simulation between the Eagles and Dockers.
