The Bombers come into this game with at 1-3 and we must disagree with the betting sites that have priced this game as close to a coin flip. Their sole victory was at home against the Crows, but perhaps there is a view that Essendon slowly are on the improve after a round 1 spanking by the Cats.
Their second last AFL game at Marvel was a reasonably competitive efforts versus the Lions, so this might be contributing to the market’s assessment. They did merely stumble across the line against the Crows last time out, which doesn’t look like great form, but posting their first win of the year might help boost confidence levels.
The only real knock on the Fremantle Dockers here is their patchy away record. They sit third on the ladder, easily accounted for the Giants last game, and should probably be showing a shorter quote. Their only loss was to the Saints, who sit fourth, so there’s a lot to like about Freo on paper. We often see pricing anomalies for non-Victorian sides, especially when they travel, and that appears to be the case here.

Key Match-up: Will Brodie vs Darcy Parish
Fremantle midfielder Will Brodie was instrumental in his team’s impressive victory over the giants, amassing 37 disposals and laying 5 tackles, truly elite numbers. Not to be outdone, Bomber Darcy Parish grabbed 38 disposals at his last outing, while landing a respectable 3 tackles. It’s inconceivable that both Brodie and Parish could both repeat those type of performances in the same game, so keep your eye out on the stats sheet as these superstars go to work. Brodie versus Parish is our key match-up here, and it should be a cracker.
Essendon vs Fremantle betting tips
We are happy to back the dockers straight up here rather than play around with points markets. The Essendon Bombers have been susceptible to counterattack, and there’s a push to bet the overs on the total points, which is set at around 167.5. But Fremantle have never been the most free-flowing team, so this looks like a risky proposition. So, we’ll kept it simple, and just back Fremantle to win the game, showing $1.87 on Ladbrokes. There has been a slight push for Fremantle, who opened closer to even money early in the week, albeit in a relatively low betting game.
Fremantle Dockers To Win
Essendon v Fremantle Same Game Multi Tips
For those chasing some game value we will link Fremantle to win straight up, into Will Brodie to have 25+ disposals, into Michael Fredrick as an anytime goal kicker. This triple header will return $4.51 on Palmerbet. Fredrick booted 2.0 versus the Giants and the speedy young forward looks to have some potential. Hopefully Brodie and Fredrick can deliver the Easter chocolates.
