Well, with the midfield, I think if Fremantle dominate clearance, they can certainly dictate the territory game that they really do crave, especially over in Perth.

But, I mean, I just really rate this midfield.

And I keep saying they're young.

They're probably not that young anymore.

I mean, these guys are established players now.

You know, Brayshaw, Sorong, you know, Hayden Young, he's an excellent player.

He's had some injury setbacks, but he's an excellent player.

And I think Hawthorne are forced to use more midfielders.

They put more players through their midfield.

I know the general in there is Newcombe, and they've got to have a plan for him.

But I mentioned it before.

I think the ruck situation is interesting tonight.

Hawthorne's sort of three rucks against Jackson and Mason Cox will be intriguing to how they use those guys.

But, yeah, I'd give the edge to this one in Fremantle, to Fremantle.

I think they're established.

They're really well-organized.

They've got Ruckman in form.

So I think that's probably the edge to Fremantle in this one.

One tick for the Dockers.

Hawthorne's backs versus Frio's forwards.
