Fremantle Dockers vs Sydney Swans Preview
Fremantle faces a crucial game after a humbling loss to Geelong, where their defensive frailties were exposed. The Dockers struggled to deal with pressure and turnover, making it hard for them to find a way forward. Sydney, despite starting 0-2, has been competitive, and they will look to get their forward line firing. Though playing in Perth is never easy, the Swans appear to be on the cusp of putting it all together. With Fremantle’s issues and Sydney’s resilience, expect the Swans to cover the line in what should be a tight contest.
