Freo thrashed Melbourne twice last year and if the players have any pride in their standing in the game, they will do everything in their power to turn those results around. This is how they went in Round 19 last year in the absence of Max Gawn who was nursing an ankle injury and Christian Petracca who was out long term with his injured spleen.
