Fremantle Dockers vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
The Dockers and Pies meet with different goals in mind on Sunday.
Fremantle perhaps suffered the biggest upset of Round 9 last week against the Suns as Justin Longmuir’s side failed to find points in the slippery conditions at Metricon.
The Dockers still find themselves sitting third on the ladder, but they can’t afford another slip-up if they hope to hang in the top four picture for the rest of the year.
As for the Pies, this is another important game as far as their top eight bid is concerned.
Collingwood’s loss to the Dogs has left them sitting four points adrift, but they’ll take plenty of confidence into this game knowing their last three meetings against Freo have been decided by two goals or less.
That said, the Pies have lost all three of those games, and there are some big concerns for the Maggies when it comes to winning the clearances and contested ball.
Defensively, the Dockers have been one of the toughest teams to score against this season, posing further problems for a Collingwood forward line that is far from full strength.
Given the conditions last week, Fremantle has probably earned a mulligan as they return home looking to make a statement.
