FREMANTLE v PORT ADELAIDE
Saturday 24 May @ Optus Stadium
This is an utterly fascinating match up. One side heading home off an excellent win and the other, a pathetic effort but get to a place they have played well.
Two coaches are at critical times of their evolution as well. One seemingly holding on on a weekly basis and the other, to go at season's end but could it come sooner?
Freo were so good in Sydney. They blasted GWS out of the water and kept blasting. Finally they showed danger forward of the ball.
When they do that they are a far better side as their attack has promise. Why does it happen so infrequently?
| Match | Fremantle | Port Adelaide | Ground |
| Last time they met | 9.13 [67] | 13.9 [87] | Optus |
| Last 10 matches | 3 wins | 7 wins | |
| Notes | Only once since 2014 has Fremantle scored 100+ points. | ||
| Last 4 games have been margins of 20 points or less. | |||
On top of that, some of the best like Horne-Francis go down with a hammy twang as well. They simply cannot afford that.
It doesn't matter where they've played of late though. The Power has had the measure of the Dockers. That gives them hope.
But if Fremantle want to stamp themselves as a Finals contender this HAS to be won.
Match Selection: Fremantle by 20 points
Suggested Bets: Fremantle 1-39 @ $2.05
