Freeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooooo
Fremantle are three games from immortality as they easily dispatched with the the side from Hawthorn that ever so courageously beat up the Fremantle junior side just two weeks ago. The Dockers had the yellow bastards covered from the opening bounce, hitting harder, running faster, kicking better and generally looking more handsome. There was barely a facet of the game they didn't smash the Hawks in. Hawthorn's Hollywood forward line could only manage 1 goal for the opening quarter against the no-no-nonsense and undermanned Freo defence, while the highly rated 2008 Premiership midfield were torn apart by David Mundy and a couple of kids. Fremantle now take the fight up to the 2009 Premiership side on Friday night where they will get their first look at the MCG for the season - and are expected to love it.
Be Afraid. Crowley's Back.
A collective shudder went through the Hawthorn team when the news was announced that Ryan Crowley will be back in the purple this week, and he's got two months of pent up frustrations to take out on the sorry bunch of school yard bullies trying to pass themselves off as a chance this weekend. Crowley will be joined by another couple of blokes who don't care for backwards stepping, Scos Silvagni and Jess Crichton - both making their AFL Finals debut. Out of the side will be Paul Hasleby, who's retirement doesn't officially start until October so it's still safe to leave your pie momentarily unattended if you'll be at the game. Jay van Berlo also misses out with a presumed bulk deficiency and Hayden Ballanytne has buggered his foot. The Hawks have brought back a bloke by the name of Hudge, or Hodge or something...who they apparently rate.
Freo Formguide: Freo v Hawthorn
If you’ve been reading the papers, listening to AM radio or even watching one of the nightly news bulletins, then you probably have no idea but Fremantle are playing Hawthorn in an Elimination Final this weekend (you will, however, be full bottle on all the contract negotiations that are not happening). The winner will be showered with platitudes while the loser will be booed from the ground, kicked back to Victoria and spend the summer looking for a replacement for Alastair Clarkson. After the Round 21 shenanigans, Hawthorn will go into the game in the full knowledge that they can beat Fremantle’s Colts team by upwards of 10 goals while Fremantle will go in knowing that the Hawks are so mentally fragile that they have to beat up a team of kids to make themselves feel like big men.
