It’s late Thursday afternoon Football in nearly August, which traditionally means that the finals are in view and it’s time to bring out the big guns. So, after naffing about in St Kilda a couple of weeks ago, going on a bit of a holiday for four days and then getting a good dressing down from the coach, Fremantle look ready to hit back and force their way to the top of the ladder using the skulls of Carlton blokes. Hayden Ballantyne, Aaron Sandilands, Garrick Ibbotson and Stephen Hill are the designated cavalry, with Luke McPharlin expected to actually play this week. Anthony Morabito has been heave hoed along with Griffin, Sylvia and Taberner with the club so angry with their performance last week that they couldn’t even bring themselves to make up calf injuries for the four.
