Collingwood Magpies vs Fremantle Dockers Preview

Fremantle are really building a case for the most disappointing club in season 2023.

A second straight loss to Carlton was a new low point for a club that played finals last year, a defeat that also highlighted some of the glaring coaching problems facing Justin Longmuir during this uphill battle.

The Dockers need a miracle if they are to climb back into the finals picture, but it’s hard to see them pulling off any kind of upset away from home against Premiership favourites Collingwood.

Aside from their woeful record in the first quarter, the Dockers have struggled to play attacking footy this year – failing to move the ball forward despite being the best team when it comes to hitouts this year.

Any hesitation will cost the Dockers massively against the Pies, a team that thrives on winning the contested footy, slicing through the midfield, and hitting one of their various targets inside 50.

With only two wins away from home this year and some serious problems starting to creep into their game, it’s hard to entertain a Freo upset.
