There's a bloke called Ross Lyon sitting back smoking his pipe and maybe even allowing himself a private momentary smile at the way this season is panning out. His dockers have got the type of run home they could have hardly even scripted for themselves and they will finish top of the ladder, or at worst 2nd. They will have a home final in Perth v a beaten up hawthorn who are gone as far as flag chances go/a young, inexperienced in terms of finals port/maybe the cats who's number freo have had for a while now. They will then have a week off and play another of the aforementioned, in Perth, for a place in the GF.
Freo are as good as in the grand final, only proviso being a late season horror injury run. Their most likely opponent is the swans, who's number they also have with anything like a full contingent out on the field. The only thing standing between them and their 1st flag is some vintage buddy franklin on the big day
