SYDNEY v FREMANTLE
Saturday 29 June @ SCG
The last time they met was very much a game easily let go through to the keeper following the sadness that was its precursor.
The Dockers were naturally in a strange place after the passing of a former close teammate and it showed.
Straight kicking makes a huge difference and it's something that the Swans have been thriving on. That is mainly because of how many quality looks they are getting.
Taking on the crosstown rivals, the second quarter burst was irresistible. It is hard to tag all of Heeney, Gulden, Warner and still have to put up with Rowbottom, McInerney, Jordan and even Papley at centre bounces alongside the additional midfielder of Grundy.
They will face a Fremantle side with a good midfield and a dangerous forward set up if at their best. The backline will be somewhat harmed with the loss of Alex Pearce. He is clearly a necessity.

Easy to side with the side flying high. They are at home, on a streak, in lovely fettle and confident.
Fremantle could well pose questions. But as with Geelong, Adelaide and even GWS to some extent, it only takes one 25 minute burst and the afterburners go on.
If the Dockers defence are undermanned, thinking Logan McDonald can run around and might get off the chain. He's up for a goal splurge.
Match Selection: Sydney by 33 points
Suggested Bets: Logan McDonald 3+ goals @ $4.25 @ bet365
