Preview:
Nobody gave Fremantle a chance at the start of the year, but suddenly the Dockers are locked and loaded for a spot in the finals.
Fremantle improved to sixth on the ladder last week thanks to their outstanding 21-point win over the Power at home. The Dockers were relentless in the fourth quarter holding Port goalless, while their efforts to win the contested footy didn’t go unnoticed.
The Dockers have won only two games on the road this year, the most recent of which came in controversial fashion against the Pies at the MCG in Round 11.
Even so, Fremantle has won three of its last five games against the Demons, and although Melbourne returns from the bye week well-rested, it’s hard to trust a side that’s won only one game at the ‘G all year.
The Dees continue to get everything right on the stat sheet, but when you lack a serious full forward, it counts for very little. Despite their success winning inside 50s, Melbourne also leads the league in goals allowed and rank second in tackles allowed to opponents.
Ross Lyon’s side is always a question mark in Melbourne, but everything about the Dockers looks legit this year. Fremantle is the best fourth-quarter side in the competition, and with a 6-3 record as the away underdog over the last calendar year, there’s some real value to be had on the Dockers.
