Fremantle Dockers vs West Coast Eagles Preview

The Dockers are playing for more than just bragging rights in the first Derby of the year on Sunday.

Fremantle has arguably been the most disappointing team to start the new season, losing back-to-back games to St Kilda and North Melbourne in concerning fashion.

Defensively, the Dockers still resemble the same stingy team they did last year, but on attack, they’ve really struggled to leave a mark on the scoreboard.

The Eagles came good last week with a convincing win over GWS at home, a performance that largely boiled down to a much-improved game from the midfield.

Tim Kelly, Dom Sheed, and Andrew Gaff had their hands all over the footy – something that can’t be said for a Fremantle side that has struggled to maintain any kind of composure through the centre of the ground.

The Dockers have held the wood over West Coast winning the last three Derbies, but this game could turn into a real slugfest if the Eagles pick up where they left off last week.
