The Fremantle Dockers can solidify the top spot with a win over the Melbourne Demons when they clash at Domain Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 4:40pm (AEST).
The last time these two teams met, Fremantle were in their best form all year, with the Dockers thumping the Demons by 68 points at the MCG.
The Dockers will be looking for another convincing win, so they can face Port Adelaide next week with a healthy degree of confidence, then launch their finals campaign.
Melbourne have had a tough run this year, currently sitting in 14th spot on the ladder, and are looking to make amends for an upsetting loss against Carlton last week.
Fremantle need to polish their ball use and kick bigger scores. Their midfield will be without Nat Fyfe, which will make it tougher to dominate clearances and allow the forwards to kick goals.
Paul Roos has opted to rest young guns Angus Brayshaw and James Harmes for the trip to Perth. Roos has urged his players to play “angry” against the Dockers. It’s a big game for Max Gawn, as he will be up against experienced, 211cm ruckman Aaron Sandilands.
Fremantle should prove too strong for the young Demons side in Perth, as the Dockers desperately want to keep the top spot.
Fremantle by 44 points.
