The prediction
North Melbourne (16th) are coming off their third win of the season, a hard-fought 10-point victory over the West Coast Eagles (62-52) in Round 13. They have won two of their last five games.
Fremantle (8th) is coming into this clash fresh off the bye in Round 13. In their most recent match, they recorded a gritty 75-64 win against the Gold Coast Suns. They have won four of their last five games.
North Melbourne's draft pick Colby McKercher continued his impressive debut season by gathering a career-high 35 disposals at high efficiency.
For the Dockers, midfield star Andrew Brayshaw was a force, collecting 30 disposals and kicking a crucial goal.
Fremantle defeated North Melbourne 102-76 when the teams last met in Round 2, 2024. The Dockers have won two of the last three encounters.
Fremantle will “travel” to Perth as strong favourites. While North Melbourne will be playing with confidence, the experience of the Dockers should see them secure the victory.
