After a couple of months of watching blokes run about after a ball for no particular reason, the 2013 season is finally upon us, where we get to watch blokes run after a ball for the greatest reason of all - so Matthew Pavlich can hold a massive cup up in the air come September. Despite the grand offerings that are on the line, Fremantle, as they are one to do, have decided to open the year with a line and length approach at the selection table. Danyle Pearce will come into a familiar looking team with Lee Spurr and Cam Sutcliffe the least familiar looking of the rest. Jon Griffin and Kepler Bradley will be doing the ruck work, with Fremantle deciding against a gamble on Jack Hannath. Presumably some of the Eagles have played football before but they generally all look the same to outsiders so it's hard to tell which ones are the important ones.
