Essendon at Fremantle +4.5
5:50am Friday (June 22, 2012)
Take the home underdog in this game. Fremantle won the matchup last year by 98-64. Essendon is 8-3 and started out strong but faces at tough home team at Perth, where they have struggled over the years. Fremantle lost three in a row recently under coach Ross Lyon but they are a tough defensive team. They are 6-5 and need a win to be in contention to make the Top 8 and end up in the playoffs. Take Fremantle +4.5 and hope they step up this week at home.
