Default Eagles Vs Dockers

Going to be a good win by fremantle but i wouldnt be reading much into it. In the last 4 rounds fremantle has travelled once and that was only to adelaide. West Coast has travelled to melbourne and the gabba in hot weather last week. Listening to it just sounds like all eagles players are stuffed while fremanlte is full of energy.

Still wouldnt put cash on freo winning the flag. Take a look at the draw since round 14 since the streak started for freo.

Freo played
RND 14 ESSENDON - HOME ( BOTTOM 8 SIDE )
RND 15 COLLINGWOOD - AWAY ( PIES WERE IN A FORM SLUMP )
RND 16 MELBOURNE - HOME ( DEES WERE IN A FORM SLUMP )
RND 17 CARLTON - AWAY ( BOTTOM 8 SIDE )
RND 18 HAWTHORN - HOME ( BOTTOM 8 SIDE )
RND 19 ADELAIDE - AWAY ( CROWS ARE IN A FORM SLUMP )
RND 20 ST KILDA - HOME
RND 21 WEST COAST - ( COMING OF A BIG GAME IN BRISY )

If you have a look at those games the only real win was against the saints and they were coming of a big game against Geelong and travelling to subi.

Overall I rate the dockers 4th or 5th to win the flag with WEST COAST, ADELAIDE ( Going down the list due to injuries and poor form ), ST KILDA and MELBOURNE.

All in all freo is playing ok footy but they are playing teams just at the right time.

Im tipping freo to finish 3rd to play EAGLES or ADELAIDE either way freo wont beat either of these teams in a big final. Freo should then win the following week playing at home only to lose again playing against the above teams in the prelim.
