Fremantle Dockers vs Melbourne Demons Preview
It wasn’t the result they would have wanted, but the two points that Fremantle gained after their draw with Richmond last weekend may prove crucial.
The Dockers now sit half a game outside the top 4 which makes this clash against Melbourne all the more important.
There were many declaring Melbourne premiers earlier in the season after they won their first 10 games of the season but they have faltered since then.
Three wins from their last eight games means they have dropped from top spot and with a tough run home, they are not guaranteed the double chance.
Freo have won their last nine straight games against Melbourne in Perth and I’m predicting a low scoring and tough, finals-like contest.
