Richmond are still rebuilding and this shapes as a tough trip against a Dockers side that can pile on points.

Best Bet: Fremantle Dockers Over 95.5 Team Total

How this game shapes up

Fremantle showed exactly what they’re capable of last week with a dominant win over Melbourne, moving the ball quickly and generating plenty of scoring chances.

At Optus Stadium, that style becomes even more dangerous. With multiple tall targets and strong forward-half pressure, the Dockers are built to create repeat entries and scoreboard pressure.

Richmond struggled to contain Gold Coast last week and allowed the game to get away from them quickly. That defensive vulnerability is a concern against a Fremantle side that has several avenues to goal.

Best Bets

Fremantle Dockers Over 95.5 Team Total

This sets up well for a high scoring game from Fremantle. They’ve consistently put big numbers on Richmond in recent matchups and should generate enough forward entries to clear this total.

Josh Treacy 3+ Goals

Treacy has a strong record against Richmond and looks like the main target inside 50. With Fremantle expected to control territory, he should get enough opportunities to hit the scoreboard multiple times.

What could go wrong?

Fremantle don’t always convert their dominance into big scores, and if efficiency inside 50 drops the total could be harder to reach.

Richmond can also be competitive early with their pressure, which could slow the scoring pace if they manage to disrupt Fremantle’s ball movement.

Which probably means this comes down to how efficiently Fremantle finish their chances.
