MELBOURNE coach Dean Bailey says his side will come out 'all guns blazing' against Fremantle at Subiaco Oval on Sunday.
The Demons will head to Perth on Friday knowing a win against the Dockers will lift them off the bottom of the AFL ladder for the first time this season.
Bailey said he was confident his side could record just its third win of the season this weekend.
"I think all games are winnable. We've got to play well to win, that hasn't changed from the start of the year to this week against Fremantle," Bailey said.
"We get to travel, we get to go over to Perth, we are going to go over a little bit earlier so we are going to prepare and go in with all guns blazing to win the game."
The Dockers are currently languishing in 14th-place on the AFL ladder with a 2-13 win-loss record but Bailey said they shouldn't be underestimated.
"We'll have our young guys playing on some pretty good players at Fremantle. Matthew Pavlich is still an elite player ... so that's going to be a great challenge for (Matthew) Warnock, (Colin) Garland and even Stef Martin might get an opportunity to play on Pavlich," Bailey said.
"Underestimate them and you are going to pay the price."
Aaron Davey, who served a club-enforced one-match ban after confessing to drinking while in Darwin for a funeral in the lead-up to the round 14 clash with Brisbane is likely to earn a recall after a solid performance for Sandringham in the VFL.
"He's an important player for us Aaron so if he trains well this week his name will be in the 'in' column on Thursday night," Bailey said.
