Winless Melbourne aims to pick itself up off the canvas against a Fremantle side starting to hit its straps as they meet at the MCG on Saturday afternoon.
The Demons have started the season 0-5 — their worst start since 2012 when they were without a win through nine games — and have lost 10 of their past 11 games dating back to late last year.
On the other hand, the visiting Dockers have righted their ship, on a three-game winning streak after starting 0-2.

Promisingly for Justin Longmuir, his side ranks first in the competition for half-back to score rate (23 per cent); which is highly important, as four of the past six premiers have finished first in the metric.
It doesn’t bode well for the Demons, who are presently the league’s second-worst for preventing scores once the ball goes in their defensive 50.
