Melbourne Demons vs Fremantle Dockers 2013 AFL Round 21 preview and tips

Fremantle get another chance to give their percentage an almighty boost when they take on Melbourne at the “G” on Sunday.

Last week the Dockers annihilated the GWS Giants by 113 points and another win of the same magnitude here, which is definitely on the cards, could see Fremantle move to third spot on the ladder.

They’ve gone about their business in good style all year have Fremantle and with their remaining games after this one against Port (in W.A.) and St. Kilda, they should head into the finals with a full head of steam.

Aside from the 122 point drumming handed to them by North in round 18, the Demons, although still not winning, have produced spirited performances against both Lions and last week, the Gold Coast Suns.

That being said, they have conceded an average of 122 points per game this year whilst Fremantle concede 69.

With Fremantle hungry for another big kill, this 70.5 line could be in danger, especially when given that, in round 9 this year, Freo won by 90 (130 – 40).

TIP: Fremantle -70.5
