The prediction

After a heartbreaking loss in Round 1 that saw them lose to Geelong despite leading by 35 points at one stage, Fremantle delivered the perfect response at Optus Stadium last week.

Spearheaded by three-goal Isaia Dudley and a much-improved display from Andrew Brayshaw, the Dockers recorded a 48-point win against Melbourne that showed real promise for the season ahead.

They next take on a Richmond side who were heavily outclassed by Gold Coast last week, with the visitors winning by a significant margin off 68 points at the MCG.

At the beginning of a rebuild, this young Tigers squad have been given some harsh lessons in the early weeks of the season, and another heavy defeat is expected for them here.

Fremantle vs Richmond tip: Fremantle to win with -38.5 handicap
