How to watch Melbourne Demons vs Fremantle Dockers AFL live and free

Melbourne need to keep winning to keep their finals dream alive when they tackle Fremantle. This is how you can follow the action.
Melbourne's hopes in 2020 are hanging precariously on a knife's edge. Their upset loss to Sydney last round dropped the Demons out of the top eight. They do still govern their own fortunes as a victory over the Dockers will elevate them back into the finals positions.
Any hopes Fremantle had of contesting this year's play-offs ended some weeks ago. But the Dockers have improved under coach Justin Longmuir and they would love nothing more than to put a major dent in Melbourne's postseason ambitions.
When is Melbourne Demons vs Fremantle Dockers?
This match is part of round 16 of the AFL draw, with the games coming thick and fast in the lead-up to the finals. The players should prepare for some humid weather as it's being held at Cazaly's Stadium in Cairns. The opening bounce is at 7:10pm AEST on Monday 7 September.

Yet all and sundry would have expected the same last weekend against the lowly Swans which resulted in a 21-point defeat. We will lean towards Melbourne, but a Fremantle win would not come as a shock.
