Fremantle vs. Melbourne Predictions
—
Best Bet
There is hope for Melbourne fans following a win over St Kilda last week, and the 2026 version looks nothing like years gone by. The additions Melbourne made work well, and we expect more wins to come.
One win won’t change everything, but confidence levels should be high after coming from behind early to beat St Kilda 120-107, and they could pounce on a Fremantle team who gave up a lead against Geelong.
It’s harder to beat the Cats than it is to beat the Saints, but Geelong hasn’t played well this season, so bookmakers might be putting too much respect on that loss. We’d prefer to take a team coming off a win with a +22.5 start, which is overly generous with AFL odds.

Same Game Multi
Melbourne needed a big effort from Jacob van Rooyen last week, and he didn’t disappoint. He landed six goals in his best game for some time, and the clubs’ expectations were for a 40-goal season, so he’s made early inroads. Punters get $1.64 for 2+ goals, which is a good multi bet addition.
Brody Mihocek is also worth including after kicking three goals. He could have had more against St Kilda, so we’re backing him with confidence against Fremantle. He’s a $1.74 chance to kick two goals, so there is value with the latest AFL odds.
It could be a tight battle in the midfield, and that should see the total points go under 187.5.

Best Value Bet
One of our best upset picks in Round 2 is Melbourne winning outright at $3.54. If they use the momentum from last week, anything is possible for the new-look team.
We liked what Max Gawn was doing in the contest, and if he can get the ball forward, Melbourne’s new stars can capitalise and put points on the board.
We don’t think Melbourne deserves to be big underdogs, so snap up the value odds.
