Melbourne Demons vs Fremantle Dockers Preview

Melbourne and Fremantle have had some close contests over the last few years, with three of their last four clashes being decided by 15 points or less.

The Dockers really impressed in the back half of the 2020 season winning five of their last nine games including a 14-point win over Melbourne in Round 16, and despite being without Rory Lobb and Michael Walters for Round 1, the $2.73 appears overs based on their recent history against Melbourne. Although Melbourne won their most recent clash at the MCG in 2019, Fremantle won the previous three games against the Dees at the ‘G.

The Dockers were one of the better defensive teams in 2020 ranked 5^th for points conceded, and at times last season Melbourne really struggled to hit the scoreboard – signing Ben Brown would have helped that in 2021, but he’ll be sitting on the sidelines alongside Sam Weidemann to start the season.

The Wolf think the Dockers can cause an upset and is happy to take the +13.5 head start. Put it in your Same Game Multi with Clayton Oliver 25+ disposals which he’s had every time he’s played Fremantle, Andrew Brayshaw to have 20+ disposals as one of Fremantle’s key midfielders, plus Bailey Fritsch as an Any Time Goal Scorer as Melbourne’s primary forward target.
