Fremantle Dockers vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Preview
The Dockers find themselves in third position after successfully making one of the toughest road trips in football last weekend, beating Geelong by three points.
They navigated their way to a gutsy win despite a good start and strong finish by the Cats and are now fourth favourites to win the flag.
A good gameplan and a a team that is buying in have been the catalyst for Fremantle rocketing up the ladder in 2022 and they are now a genuine threat to Melbourne should they continue see natural improvement from their young players.
North Melbourne are struggling to play four quarters of football which is to be expected from a rebuilding and young side.
They were competitive in the first half against Carlton on the weekend but then fell away.
And when they start to get scored heavily against, they don’t know how to stem the bleeding.
This is a big line but Fremantle has covered the line in 10 of its last 11 matches as a favourite.
