Fremantle and Gold Coast will do battle at Norwood Oval in a do-or-die clash as a part of the AFL's inaugural Gather Round.
The Dockers are coming off a disappointing loss to Adelaide in round four and will need to bounce back if they are to get their 2023 season back on track.
Meanwhile, the Suns also sit in a very vulnerable position, winning once in the opening month.
Stuart Dew's men have an average losing margin of 43 points and desperately need a win to prove their credentials.
