Game Chat – Melbourne v Fremantle

Written by Motts on June 22 2019

Where and when: MCG, Saturday June 22, 1.45pm

What it means for Melbourne: The Demons have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks but have struggled to put together a four-quarter performance. A win will restore confidence ahead of the second half of the season.

What it means for Fremantle: It’s a Fremantle side on the rise, having now won three in a row. While not the highest-scoring team, Saturday is a chance to put a good score on the board.

The stat: Fremantle has an excellent recent record against Melbourne, winning eight of its past 10 games dating back to round 16, 2012. Three of those 10 matches have been in Darwin, with another three – all Dockers wins – at the MCG.

The match-up: Michael Walters v Michael Hibberd

“Sonny” Walters (ranked 22 overall in the AFL Player Ratings) is in the form of his life, playing predominantly forward and coming off a six-goal haul. Hibberd’s strongest games this year have come when tasked with a lockdown role, and none are currently bigger.

It’s a big week for: Jesse Hogan

Formerly Melbourne’s next big hope, Hogan returned home to Perth during the off-season and will be facing his old side for the first time. After a slow start to the year, Hogan is starting to hit form, kicking five goals over the past two weeks.

Big call: Melbourne co-captain Nathan Jones has found himself all over the park this year to varying levels of success but will kick three goals this weekend.

Mottsy’s Tip: Dockers by 30 points

  1. This is the game Melbourne win to get their season back on track. They will finish with 10-11 wins and just miss finals.

    1. There may be a shower early, but reckon that’s it, and we know how well the track drains so no biggy I don’t think.

  3. With 40s from Darling and Sicily, this game will either put the nail in my coffin or resurrect me.

  7. Going early on Logue is paying off nicely. JS is brilliant with Pearce out, nice little money earner to finish off the year.

    1. The way Logue is going may need to be in my starting back 6 regularly and Hore and Sicily can be bench cover 🙂

    1. Not a first year player, Logue has just been injured long term. Looks good, crazy to think if Pearce was still in he probably be playing WAFL
