Best Bet
Getting more than a goal start makes the Swans an appealing play here.
Sydney may be 0-2, but they’ve been highly competitive against quality opposition in Hawthorn and Brisbane. They also boast a strong record out west, winning their last four games at Optus Stadium and their last three meetings with Fremantle at the venue.
The Dockers were dreadful against Geelong last week, suffering a 78-point thrashing at GMHBA Stadium. Historically a defensively strong side under Justin Longmuir, conceding 147 points would have set off alarm bells within the Freo camp.
Notably, the away team has covered the line in each of the last five meetings between these sides. Expect Sydney to keep this one close.
Same Game Multi
The Swans back six has been unsettled through the first two weeks of 2025, and they look set to send Tom McCartin back this week. That inconsistency in defence should help Josh Treacy, who has kicked 3+ goals in three straight at home.
As below, Will Hayward loves playing the Dockers.
Expect Caleb Serong to cop the James Jordan tag, which should give some additional freedom to Andrew Brayshaw. He’s had 30+ in six of his last seven at Optus.
Value Bet
Will Hayward has a great record against Freo, kicking 3+ in three straight against the Dockers.
