 I think we should get over the line, but they're definitely not a team to take lightly. Just look at the last few game we were expected to beat them and got done.

Fremantle beat us at the MCG  in 2012 , 2014 , 2015 and 2017 . Two of those defeats were David Mundy horror stories .

We have beaten the Dockers the last 3 times in Perth including last years probing by 100 pts .

Dockers are doing well to be a middle tier team this year ....but if we're serious we will waltz this in by 10 goals .

Summary

Damien Hardwick will go into this game with few concerns given his nearly fully fit list and the team's raging form, although this will be the Tigers' third game in 13 days, compared to the Dockers' three in 16. It's a difference of just three days, but that could prove significant given the Tigers' unconventional post-Anzac Day Eve recovery period where they had to turn around and play again in just five days. Ross Lyon will have to shuffle the magnets to replace Michael Walters, who will miss multiple weeks with a knee, while the ruck battle between the in-form Toby Nankervis and Aaron Sandilands will be intriguing. While the Tigers will enter as red-hot favourites, history suggests the Dockers' chances shouldn't entirely be dismissed. Lyon's men have won four of the last five MCG encounters between the teams, while bizarrely, the Tigers have snatched the last three in Perth.

WHERE AND WHEN: the MCG, Sunday, May 6, 1.10pm AEST

LAST FIVE MEETINGS

R22, 2017, Richmond 25.5 (155) d Fremantle 7.9 (51) at Subiaco Oval

R8, 2017, Fremantle 10.12 (72) d Richmond 10.10 (70) at the MCG

R9, 2016, Richmond 11.17 (83) d Fremantle 6.9 (45) at Subiaco Oval

R17, 2015, Fremantle 12.10 (82) d Richmond 10.18 (78) at the MCG

R10, 2015, Richmond 15.7 (97) d Fremantle 10.10 (70) at Subiaco Oval

THE SIX POINTS

1. Much has been made about the League-wide trend of low scoring, but these two teams are having a crack. The Tigers are the highest-scoring side this season with an average of 105 points per game, while the Dockers are one of few teams to improve in this area from last year with an average of 83 points, up from 73.

2. Having said that, it makes sense both sides are adept at taking the ball inside 50. The Tigers lead the competition with an average of 59.2 a game, while the Dockers are sixth with 54.

3. There was an avalanche of Richmond goals in the round 22 clash last year. The Dockers led by four points at quarter-time before the Tigers piled on 22 goals to four to win by 104 points.

4. Dustin Martin was the star in that game. He polled three Brownlow votes for his 36-disposal, two-goal performance.

5. If the Tigers win, it will be their best start to a season since 1995 when they won their first seven games. If the Dockers get the four points, it will be the second straight season they've started with 4-3.

6. A cracking performance against Collingwood has Nankervis ranked as a "fast climber" in the Official AFL Player Ratings, brought to you by Schick. The ruckman has gone from 89th overall to 65th in the space of a week.

IT’S A BIG WEEK FOR…
Michael Johnson. The defender backed up Sandilands against West Coast with the veteran ruckman nearing the need for a spell but unable to be rested just yet with the Dockers' young tall brigade ripped apart by injuries. With Nankervis so influential against Collingwood last week, Johnson might need to up the level of his supporting role on Sunday.


PREDICTION: Richmond by 23 points.

Fremantle face a horrid road record straight out of derbies ahead of their MCG appointment with reigning premiers Richmond on Sunday.

The Dockers have won just six times away from Perth at their next clash at only a 26 per cent winning ratio from 23 engagements.

But, the Dockers can turn to a healthy 4-1 winning record over the Tigers on their hallowed home turf under coach Ross Lyon.

A nerve-wracking after-the-siren set-shot goal from veteran star on-baller David Mundy secured last season’s downfall for the Tigers in round eight last year by just two points.

The Dockers have a hefty 8-5 win-loss record at the “G” under Lyon since 2012.

Any Dockers winning hopes must be engineered without dashing forward and influential on-baller Michael Walters who is a casualty from the eight-point derby loss with his recurring left knee trouble and must be replaced.

Utility Tom Sheridan shapes as a potential replacement around goals and with his aggressive tackling and forward line pressure experience to off-set losing Walters.

Sheridan, 24, was an emergency heading into the derby and pressed claims for a recall with a near best-afield outing with 29 disposals for Dockers alignment team Peel Thunder against East Perth.

Should be further in front. Poor goalkicking and sloppy,lazy and too cute disposals (because it's actually too easy) has cost us so far. Cut out the globetrotter crap Tiges and put this mob away.

Ignoring hitouts, the only stat we are trailing significantly in is clearances. Freo up 4-10 and have won all 4 centre clearances.

Leading disposal getters:
Prestia 10
Grimes 8
Lambert 7
Dusty 7
Graham 7
Macca 7

Yep. He's having to do everything for Freo: ruck, win the ball, win the clearances and try to score. Apparently, he's had a record number of disposals against us to half-time. Only chink in his armour is he is going at only 42% efficiency.

Houli to Dusty to Towner at HF. Goes towards Butler. Too cute with the lookaway handpass but it gets to Macca and he kicks it towards Georgie who takes the contested mark 35m out. Misses  :scream.

Still them kicking only 4 goals good defence effort.
Yep and kept them to just 1 goal in 3 of the 4 qtrs. A combination of our good defence and Freo's woefulness.

Was a boring game but I'll take the win.

Fyfe got a lot of ball sure. His aerial work was something to behold, otherwise it seemed to me that he was left to do whatever he wanted in the back half but was picked up often by guys like Mac, Graham, Caddy and even Broady when in the middle/forward half to contain his influence.

So all in all lots of leather but not a lot of damage from what I could see. Well played by the Tiges...

Tackling was really good. Thought George, Grimes, Astbury and Graham played really well. To win when we did not have Cotchin, Martin not playing well and Prestia injured was good. Thought 3rd quarter was really disappointing. Last quarter very good to watch. Enjoyed Nank running Sandilands into ground in the last quarter.

Nick Vlastuin, Richmond, has been charged with misconduct against Ed Langdon, Fremantle, during the third quarter of the Round Seven match between Richmond and Fremantle, played at the MCG on Sunday May 6, 2018.

In summary, he can accept a $1500 sanction with an early plea.
