Fremantle Dockers vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Preview
The Dockers were one of the big winners to emerge from Round 6 after picking up a gutsy 12-point win over the Crows in Adelaide.
Many had Freo down as a dark horse heading into the season, and now at 3-2, it’s safe to say they are on everybody’s radar.
A trip back to Perth to face the winless Kangaroos should see the Dockers back into the eight this week if Justin Longmuir’s side can execute a similar game plan.
North has won only two of its last five games against Freo in Perth, while they also suffered mightily at the hands of the Dockers by 64-points when these two sides met on the Gold Coast last year.
The biggest reason for the Dockers’ success last week was their efficient inside 50 entries and the fact they forced the Crows into some costly turnovers.
North will no doubt feel confident heading into this game after giving Geelong a shake last week, but considering they are playing in two of the toughest road environments in back-to-back games, the Dockers should win this comfortably.
