Scaredy Cats Fiddle
They've been described as one of the great sides of the past era and Geelong have shown just how worried they are that that is quickly become a reality, gambling at the section table with injured and inexperienced players over healthy, finals stalwarts by dropping Andrew Mackie and Mark Blake for James Podsiadly and Tom Lonergan. Fremantle on the other hand have stuck with a tried and true finals formula, taking the same team that annihilated Hawthorn last week over to Melbourne where they are being tipping to cause a similar upset and bring to an end the short lived glory days of the Geelong Football Club.
Freo Formguide: Freo v Geelong
Geelong never play two games in a row...would you believe three bad games in a row? How about bad 4 games and a round of Hungry Hungry Hippos? Leaving August, there was a strong belief that Geelong were tapering towards the end of the season to get themselves up for a steamrolling finals campaign. St Kilda set everyone straight on the weekend and now the general consensus is that Geelong are a crumbling empire, just waiting for some upstart from across the lands to ride in, cut them down and claim all that was once theirs. In this case, however, the upstarts already cut them down in Round 3 and are merely heading over to finish the job.
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.
