Freo Continue Dominance of Coastal Themed Teams
They might not be the unspoken evil from up the road but they’ve got Coast in their name and that was good enough for Fremantle to dish out some unnecessary roughness and send the Suns running back to Queensland in a continuation of their dominance of the Australian Football League. Freo started the game exactly like you’d expect for a bunch of players who hadn’t seen rain falling since October. The strange water falling from the heavens confused many and they struggled a bit picking up a football that wasn’t covered in melting leather and Paddle Pop stains but eventually they got the gist of it and added a bit of attack to their blanket defence and midfield brutality. Fremantle pulled ahead by half time and had the game sewn up by the end of the third, using the last quarter to get in a bit of extra fitness as they charged home for the final 23 games and the inevitable flag.

Dockerland Budget: Fremantle v Gold Coast

Round Two: Pinchy Versus The Human Waterfall
Ryan is in. Gary Jr is in. That’s all anyone wants to know as the travelling Kleenex show hits town this weekend. Fremantle had toyed with the idea of not playing Crowley this week and instead sitting him in the stands, after handing out Ryan Crowley masks to the crowd to leave him guessing which one was the real Crowley. The Freo lawyers had to step in though and ruled that the club would be potentially liable for any whiplash that occurred from Gary continually looking over his shoulder, plus the untold psychological damage. So Crowley will be running about making Gary’s baldness one of his lesser worries for a change. Lachy Neale won’t get to see the show up close, he’s been given a week off and Nik Suban is back into the side after he served some time in the can for trying to souvenier Sam Mitchell’s eyeball in the Grand Final last year. The Gold Coast have made a couple of changes from their team that beat Richmond last week. Matthew Warnock and Jack Martin are out of the team with Kade Kolodjashnij and Rory Thompson coming in, although that’s presumably a joke name - who’d call their kid Rory?
