Queen Gary To Dock to Freo
Fremantle will take to the field for the last time this year without any particular purpose, with the pre-season finally coming to an end through a scratch match against Geelong. Both sides will load up for the match, although with the sun expected to be working hard on Saturday most of them are expected to be lining up at the ice cream van. Des Headland and Chris Mayne should give Fremantle a forward line this week with McPharlin and Sandilands wandering down for a run. Geelong are brining Gary Ablett over but only to get him as far away from Guy McKeena as possible.
Fremantle Complete Training Session
In something reminiscent of the expression about not being able to organise an event where alcohol will be heavily consumed, inside a venue specifically designed for the manufacture of alcohol; the game to be played in the indoor stadium was delayed due to rain...and it was all down hill from there. Missing most of their players who shave regularly, the Dockers spent the scratch match focussing less on goal kicking and more on getting run and experience into their young players. Morabito and Silvangi were the stand outs of the youngsters, with Barlow again prolific.
Saints' Captain Abandons Ship
St Kilda are running scared. With a Grand Final spot up for grabs, and everything to play for two teams starved on sucess these past 15 to 45 years, the Saints have seen what's coming at them and pulled the old favourite 'our focus is round 1', dropping their captain like the Autum leaf he is, along with Brendon Goddard and their self respect. Freo have gone a different route, brining back well regarded publicans Matthew Pavlich and Paul Hasleby along with a raft of youngsters itching to break their way into next weekend's Premiership side.
