FREMANTLE v COLLINGWOOD

Thursday 8 May @ Optus Stadium

A game in Perth which has some serious implications – especially for the home side.

The coach of the Dockers will be desperate for a top performance. At worst it needs to be highly competitive and best a win.

Fremantle were woeful. There is nothing else that can justify how bad they were against St Kilda. Ross Lyon loves a defensive contest and they fell for it.

To only kick 5 goals under the roof is abysmal. That was after a really good effort the week before. Consistency is not their strong suit.

Match Fremantle Collingwood Ground
Last time they met      11.9 [75] 10.15 [75] Optus
Last 10 matches 3 wins 6 wins 1 draw
Notes Late 4 goal surge from Freo got a draw including the free kick for not handing ball to umpire at a ball up.
Record at this ground is 2W Coll/1W Fre/1 Draw.
As for Collingwood, they participated in a grand game and could have won it after the siren.

They will be disappointed to lose though having overcome a bad start to establish a good lead.

If history says anything, this is the sort of game Fremantle bounce back and win. Given it is at home that is more probable. And even more so with some substantial changes from Collingwood.

But the Pies love an away trip and there will be some trepidation in the Fremantle coaching thoughts. Anything goes but maybe just Fremantle. If they lose badly it might be the end.

Match Selection: Fremantle by 16 points

Suggested Bets: Fremantle 1-39 @ $2.25
