Fremantle Dockers vs Melbourne Demons 2013 AFL Round 9 preview and tips

The final match of round 9 will take place in Western Australia with Fremantle hosting Melbourne.

Freo have been travelling very well this season and have posted a record of 5-2-1 thus far. Their two losses were against Hawthorn and Essendon and last week, the Dockers travelled to Sydney and played out a draw.

They are 3-1 when playing at home and that record will be enhanced after the account for Melbourne this weekend.

There’s no light on the horizon for the Demons who slumped to their ninth loss from their past ten matches, with a 34 point loss to Richmond last week.

That followed a 61 point loss to Carlton and a 61 point loss to Gold Coast.

At home, expect the Dockers to continue the trend and cover the 62.5 line.

TIP: FREMANTLE -62.5 @ $1.91
