Back from the Gutter Fremantle will applaud what Michael Johnson has over come this week by allowing him to once again join them in their weekly game of football. Johnson has missed the past 6 weeks after an indiscretion with a milk crate and played his first game since the Collingwood debacle last weekend, for Perth. He will slot straight back into the Fremantle side against a lowly Port Adelaide this weekend, with Scos Silvagni taking a much deserved breather. But while everything is being played cool down at Fremantle, Choco Williams has gone berkerk, chopping a quarter of his team to send a message to the competition that just because Port are rubbish, doesn't make him any less crazy.
Freo Formguide: Freo v Port Adelaide The Dockers come out of their midseason break this week with another record being broken - it’s the first time this century that they’ve made it through the week off without a Simon Beaumont or  Howard Sattler type making up a fictional scandal about on of the hard working youngsters from Fremantle. Which brings them to their next task, beating Port Adeliade at Subiaco Oval. While there aren’t really any records of note left to break against Port, the club are expected to look at the bigger picture - the first step in their undefeated run to the flag.
Mark Harvey Gets Two More Years Fire up the water slides and bumper cars at Adventure World, Fremantle have cleared out their In pile, re-signing their coach and leaving themselves an open weekend for some good, clean wholesome fun that will in no way attract any attention. Mark Harvey's new status as Super Coach seen him signed up for another two years which will push his contract through to the last leg of the Dockers' three-peat premiership win, after which he probably thinks he'll be able to squeeze out a couple of dollars extra for another contract and possible get his own office instead of having to work out of the back of Paul Hasleby's van.
