Fremantle Dockers vs Brisbane Lions Preview

The curtain closes on Round 12 with what should be a telling top-four clash between the Dockers and Lions on Sunday.

Fremantle, fresh from a season-defining win over reigning premiers Melbourne last week, return home as slight favourites in head-to-head betting with all the momentum on their side.

The Lions, meanwhile, will have a point to prove after coming back from a healthy first-quarter margin to defeat hapless GWS last week at the Gabba.

Brisbane’s injury concerns have made life challenging for head coach Chris Fagan, but his side certainly didn’t help its cause last week by kicking 14 behinds.

Slow starts have become a common theme for the Lions right throughout the season, a trend that won’t fly against a Fremantle team that thrives on sucking the life out of its opponents and scoring in a hurry.

Plenty have questioned the legitimacy of Freo’s win last week after Melbourne’s key defender Steven May suffered a concussion early in the game, but the fact remains the same, the Dockers have won three games over top eight opponents this season.

Brisbane has picked up some handy scalps of their won, but their recent performances against Adelaide, Hawthorn, and GWS have all left something to be desired.

Overall, the market looks just about right here, but with skipper Nat Fyfe a chance at making his season debut, the edge belongs with Fremantle.
