Aaron KirbyMandurah Coastal Times

FREMANTLE will start their 2020 premiership quest in Mandurah at David Grays Arena in the Marsh Community pre-season series.

The Dockers will take on Carlton in a Saturday twilight game on February 29 with bounce down at 4.10pm.

The game could see the club debuts of Blake Acres, who came over from St Kilda as a part of the Brad Hill deal, and late trade recruit from Collingwood James Aish as well as the return of Eddie Betts to the Navy Blue.

It will also see a host of young players battling for the positions of retired big-man Aaron Sandilands and goal-sneak Hayden Ballantyne with Fremantle currently holding seven draft picks including two inside the top 10.

The only meeting between the two teams last season was a nail-biter as Carlton snatched a late victory after a back and forth final term saw Marc Murphy slot the winning goal in the dying seconds.

Fremantle rounds off the pre-season against West Coast at HBF Arena on Saturday, March 7.

Full season fixtures will be released on October 31.
