Fremantle Dockers vs Carlton Blues Preview
The Dockers and the Blues are both facing a make-or-break scenario in Perth.
Fremantle kept their season alive with an impressive 16-point win over the Hawks on Monday night, while the Blues are simply hoping to return to their old ways after suffering back-to-back losses to Hawthorn and West Coast.
A win would likely go a long way towards either team making a run at the finals.
The Dockers and Blues are both tied on 16 points apiece on the ladder, but with home-field advantage, this does set up nicely for Fremantle to make it three wins in a row.
Carlton have proven themselves a handful this season, but we’re still yet to see them string together four consistent quarters of footy.
After leading at half-time against the Eagles last week, the Blues went on to kick only three goals in the second half as Josh Kennedy dominated down the other end.
None of that bodes particularly well against a red-hot Fremantle outfit that is relishing having Nat Fyfe back in the side.
