FREMANTLE v WESTERN BULLDOGS
Saturday 27 April @ Optus Stadium
Coming off contrasting performances, you have to worry about those who can't score enough in 2024.
That surely fits Fremantle who are really becoming a concern at their ability to hit the scoreboard.
The Derby probably emphasised that even more. The Dockers have nailed 9, 9, 9 & 10 goals in the last month. That cannot be continued.
Bad enough to lose to West Coast at the best of times – even worse when they are a bad side and worse again to play horribly in it being down 10 goals at times.
Dangerous for them is they meet a side who needed a win and scored 19 goals of their own last Thursday. Not sure Freo have that many in them if repeated.
Strangely it came with Ugle-Hagan not there. Did it work better with a cleared out forward line for Naughton, Darcy and Weightman?
Too many cooks spoiling the broth as it goes.
| Match | Fremantle | Western Bulldogs | Ground |
| Last time they met | 11.7 [73] | 16.6 [102] | Marvel |
| Last 10 matches | 5 wins | 5 wins | |
| Notes | At Optus it is 3/2 Fremantle | ||
| 2022 Elimination Final went to Freo by 13 points | |||
Whoever loses this is not out of the Finals playbook in any way but their inconsistency is not going to help make the Top 4.
The Bulldogs can score big enough to make Fremantle worry.
