SUMMARY
The Giants have a huge task ahead of them. They need a win to keep in touch with the top eight but the Dockers refuse to lose despite not being in their best form. The Giants have a terrible record at Domain Stadium and need to find a way to kick a winning score against the best defence in the AFL. The Dockers would dearly love a big score themselves, Matthew Pavlich is in good touch but they would like a few others to kick multiple goals. The Dockers' midfielders should feast on Aaron Sandilands' service this week.

IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR … Matt Taberner
Taberner needs a big week to get him going. He's kicked just two goals in his past six games and has been subbed out of four of them. The Dockers would love to get him into some touch.

PREDICTION: Fremantle by 25 points
