North Melbourne vs Fremantle Dockers Preview
In a clash between teams coming off contrasting Round 1 outcomes, the Dockers and North meet indoors on Saturday. Fremantle impressed by defeating Brisbane by 23 points, powered by Caleb Serong’s 43 touches and strengthened by Nat Fyfe and Hayden Young. Conversely, North faced a 39-point loss to the Giants, although positives emerged, including competitive play until midway through the second term and promising performances from young players like George Wardlaw and Luke Davies-Uniacke. Defensive lapses cost North, but facing a Dockers side missing key defenders due to injury offers hope. While Fremantle’s early dominance hinges on Serong and Fyfe’s impact, North’s potential, especially at +22.5, suggests they could cover the line and continue improving, particularly given their competitive outings at Marvel last season.
