Fremantle have named the blokes that will take the first step towards Fremantle's 5 year premiership reign (a wold war of some sort with presumably put them out for a few years, although the inevitable Fremantle women's team should kick in for a few while the boys are away) . David Mundy won't one of those taking the first step, nor will Alex Silvagni, nor Antoni Grover but some of the names that are in should distract us long enough not to notice. Aaron Sandilands is back after resting for 1-5 weeks with a bit of tightness, Michael Barlow has been tight for most of the pre-season but will start on Saturday. Clancee Pearce has been moved up from the rookie list and gets a game while Josh Mellington impressed enough over the summer to be a starter. Zac Dawson will make his purple debut and Nat Fyfe is expected to be awesome. Geelong have named a pretty good side too, with 2 or 3 dozen premiership players making the trip.
