LINEUPS
Fremantle have unfortunately omitted 2 of our promising youngsters fordrowning their sorrows not meeting team requirements. Thankfully there's 2 more promising youngsters to pull on the boots this weekend!
Hawks have also made 2 changes, omitting 2 players I've never heard of before, to play 2 more players I've never heard of before (including a debutant).
LAST FIVE TIMES
R8, 2016, Hawthorn 17.14 (116) d Fremantle 11.9 (75) at Uni of Tasmania Stadium
1PF, 2015, Hawthorn 15.4 (94) d Fremantle 10.7 (67) at Domain Stadium
R15, 2015, Hawthorn 17.13 (115) d Fremantle 6.7 (43) at Uni of Tasmania Stadium
R21, 2014, Fremantle 17.8 (110) d Hawthorn 13.13 (91) at Domain Stadium
R3, 2014, Hawthorn 21.11 (137) d Fremantle 11.13 (79) at the MCG
POINTS OF INTEREST
- Fremantle have been the better team of 2017, sitting a lofty 12th in a rebuild year, whereas the Hawks, after using 2 years worth of draft picks for another tilt at the flag are a lowly 13th.
- In the past year, both teams have had major retirements, with their greatest player leaving each club.
Freo lost the nose and guns of Matthew Pavlich:
Hawthorn lost the flowing locks ofJesus Matt Spangher:
- Both teams have changed captains too. Brownlow Medalist, 2x MVP, 2x Doig Medalist, 2x All Australian, newly crowned highest player in the comp (possibly), and owner of the sexiest post-ceremony photo ever taken, Nathan Fyfe, has been voted in by his adoring team mates to take on the role at Freo.
After Luke Hodge had to step aside for being such a good gosh darn bloke, the Hawks put their gingerest player, Jarryd Roughead into the captaincy.
- The 2013 grand final has now disappeared off the list of last 5 games!
- I got thrown in the deep end creating this preview at the last minute!
PREDICTION
Freo by all the goals
