Fremantle Dockers vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
This should be a very interesting game on Saturday between two sides with plenty left to play for.
The Dockers have won only one of their last five games, but they still find themselves in the hunt for the eight alongside Essendon, GWS and St Kilda on the ladder.
Not far behind, the 13th place Suns will be looking to build on their impressive win over the Hawks a fortnight ago.
Aside from a couple of rough games against Brisbane and Geelong, Stuart Dew’s side has been playing some very competitive footy of late – a worrying sign for a Fremantle side that has been dismantled by injuries.
The Dockers lost by 28 to the Dogs last week, but the biggest blow came when Nat Fyfe, Sean Darcy and Brennan Cox all left the ground with respective injuries.
Playing at home is obviously a huge advantage for Freo, but it’s hard to ignore the fact the Suns have won their last two meetings against the Dockers.
Throw in the fact they also have a rest advantage, and the Suns really don’t look a bad bet to cover if Ben King and underrated star Izak Rankine can dominate like they did against the Hawks.
