Fremantle Dockers vs Geelong Cats Preview
Fremantle are back at home on Thursday night for a big game against the Cats.
Fremantle are inside the top 8 currently but a loss here would likely see them fall out given how tight it is on the ladder.
Geelong weren’t at their best last week but still accounted for Carlton relatively easily. Should be a good game but I’ll stick with the in-form Cats here.
Market Update: There’s been a stack of money come for Fremantle this week and it’s seen their odds shorten dramatically.
The Dockers opened at $2.58, they were backed into as low as $2.02 before settling at $2.07. Geelong have been $1.51 out to $1.79 with online bookmaker Sportsbet.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Geelong Cats to win at $1.79 odds.
