Fremantle Dockers vs Geelong Cats Preview
A shock loss to Richmond at the MCG has the defending premiers in a precarious position through nine rounds and a spot inside the top four come season’s end is slipping out of their fingertips.
There will be no panic stations down the highway just yet but they can ill avoid to lose too many more games in the second half of the year.
It was the first time in a long time that the Cats entered a game as the younger side against Richmond and Geelong remains far from settled on it’s best 22.
After a horrible start to the season, the Dockers have found a touch of form in the last couple of weeks.
A 69 point win over the hapless Hawks might have been the confidence boost they needed and they beat the Swans by 17 points in Sydney last weekend.
I think there has been a bit of any overreaction to both team’s last games and although the game will be played in the west, Geelong should find a way to win.
The Cats have won their last 10 straight games following an eight-day turnaround and Freo’s last seven games have gone over the total points line.
