Fremantle Dockers vs Sydney Swans Preview
The Swans were enormous last Thursday night against GWS in what can only be described as one of the upsets of the season.
Sydney came out firing to pummel their rivals by 41-points, a performance John Longmire will be hoping his side can replicate ahead of Saturday’s battle between 14th and 15th.
With all that in mind, the Swans still find themselves as the underdog against a Fremantle side looking to bounce back from a nightmarish result last week against Carlton.
In what was a low-scoring game, the Dockers were left stunned as Jack Newnes sent a dagger through Fremantle hearts on the final siren.
Home field advantage is a big reason for Freo’s favouritism though, and it’s not hard to understand why when you consider the Swans haven’t defeated the Dockers in Perth since 2016.
All four games between these two sides have gone Under the Total during that time and it’s difficult to envision this one being high scoring.
The Swans are still missing several key names, while Freo’s measly five-goal total last week says it all.
This could be one of the most exciting games of the round, but it might turn into a bit of a stalemate.
