AFL Finals Week 2

The AFL Finals series continues on Friday night with the first of two semi finals. The Fremantle Dockers play hosts to the Melbourne Demons in the 2nd Semi Final at Subiaco Oval with the Dockers a red-hot favourite to win their first ever finals match.

The Dockers saw their nine match winning streak come to an end last week but they have won their last six at Fortress Subi and nine of their last 10.

Melbourne has lost on its last four visits to Perth including a 29 point loss to the Dockers in Round 16.

Home ground advantage to see the Dockers book their tickets for Sydney and a Prelim final against the Swans.

The action continues at Subi on Saturday night with the West Coast Eagles taking on the Western Bulldogs in the 1st Semi Final. The Bulldogs go into this clash with a surprisingly high level of confidence after proving too strong for Collingwood last week.

The Dogs have won their last two against the West Coasters including their round 13 clash at Subi by nine points. Can they upset the one time premiership favourites a third time?
