Fremantle are well on their way to winning the 2022 Premiership, with many experts expecting the AFL to declare the flag Fremantle before Round 10 and save everyone a lot of pain and humiliation. They have hit one minor setback though, David Mundy has had to isolate because someone got near him with the covid. Scientists are hoping Mundy returns a positive test at some point so they can study what his blood does to the virus and are expecting to have a cure a few hours after first contact. Brennan Cox is also out and will be keen to get the Mundy cure as soon as it's available. James Aish and Sean Darcey will be in to cover for them, with Brandon Walker, Joel Hamling and Nathan O'Driscoll hopping onto the long bench.
