Melbourne Demons vs Fremantle Dockers Preview
Melbourne faces mounting pressure as they prepare to host Fremantle at the MCG on Saturday afternoon, still searching for their first win of the 2025 season. A 96-57 defeat to Essendon in Gather Round saw the Demons fall to 0-5—their worst start since 2012. Offensive woes continue to plague Melbourne, having failed to register more than 74 points in a game this year, with an average of just 61.0 points per outing. Turning that around won’t be easy against a Fremantle side boasting a rock-solid defense, conceding only 66.0 points per game across their last four matches. The Dockers are riding high after a commanding 108-47 win over Richmond, spearheaded by Josh Treacy’s six-goal performance. Fremantle also had Melbourne’s number in 2024, cruising to emphatic wins—141-49 in Alice Springs and 116-66 at Optus Stadium—with standout performances from Jye Amiss and Andrew Brayshaw in both contests.
