Essendon will run the gauntlet of the border patrols this week, loading their various cavities with an assortment of ground up animal organs and body parts in the hope that their club will once again return to the glory days of the turn of the century when all they had to do to win flags was cheat on the salary cap. There will be none of that nonsense at Fremantle who get all their nutrients from food (food that is produced in a convenient capsule form, like the astronauts use). In keeping with that spirit of old fashioned conservatism, Fremantle have just made the one change this week with Hayden Ballantyne returning after members of the tribunal suggested he might benefit from a short break from the game. Hayden Crozier has stepped aside so as not to breach the AFL Hayden Cap that is so tightly enforced. Essendon have replaced Baguley and Merrett with Colyer and Kavanagh but keep in mind that those names may be aliases
