Historical trends over the past 2 seasons say that Fremantle are likely to surpass 100 pts while Richmond will struggle in the matchup both in attack and defence. The Tigers had no answer to the run of the Suns last weekend and that tall forward target. Now they need to defend a Dockers forward line that has multiple tall targets that can get up the ground.
In their lone matchup last season, Fremantle had immense pressure in their forward half, laying 16 tackles Inside 50 while taking 17 Marks with ball in hand. The expectation is that a similar narrative plays out this time around with the Tigers roster largely the same.
Josh Treacy loves this matchup, he has kicked 15 goals in 3 games against the Tigers over the past 2 seasons. His ability to take marks above his head and find space has meant he has become the main target and the most prolific goalscorer for the Dockers in a long time.
Take the Dockers to surpass their Team Total of 95.5 pts as well as the Game Total going Over 144.5. Stay away from the line given how big it is, too much variance. Josh Treacy goal ladders is the best player prop but at least 3+ majors. Andrew Brayshaw 30+ touches is something to keep an eye on.
