That is what Lyon has done A/M. The team is now bigger than any individual, so when Mundy withdrew yesterday the other mid fielders like Fyfe and Barlow lifted to a higher level to make up for this. The imminent returns of Pav and Sandilands are being managed carefully because the team is not desperate for their return. I have never seen such intensity in defence from a Dockers team, all 18 players on the ground defend as if their life depended on it. This has the effect of strangling the oppositions scoring chances as they struggle to get it out of Freo's forward 50. I await with interest to see how they go against the angry cats!

Has freo ever won at the cattery?

Doesn't matter if we have won there or not anyway, this is a far more professional side than Freo has ever had, even more so than the 2006 side which was only a few goals from a Grand Final. If the Cats are not 100% on this week they will get beaten by a relentless and very even side.

No stevie j will help freo's cause. But will be evened out if Barlow does not get up, will be such a huge loss for Freo.

I think cats will be stinging from their loss to bris, and will bounce back and have a win at home. That being said, it is going to be a scrappy hard fought win, and i wouldnt be suprised if freo choked cats and get the win.
