Us Dockers are lovers and fighters, which is why we’ll love taking down the War Hawks. Time to Restump Podcast Saturday’s Freddyless clash against the once mighty Hawthorn side.Whenever we play the Hawks, instantly the painful memory of the 2013 Grand final resurfaces. To be fair, it probably burns David Mundy more than anyone but maybe it’s been the motivation he has used to solider on.On top of that we have an atrocious record against the once powerful Hawthorn team, being 11 wins and 28 losses. But this is a new era, we’re a new Fremantle team and we head into the battle with a clean slate and without fear or favour. There are no longer any Hawkish monkeys on our backs!We welcome back Sonny, Switta and finally that man Fyfe. With an 80% chance of precipitation, Captain Fyfe might be the umbrella for our recent inclement weather concerns. Let's hope Sam Mitchell's hasn't passed on his former playing day tactics otherwise Fyfey might end up with another Hawk cork! They’re a tricky bunch these young cocky Hawks as they have an air of unpredictability about them. They’ve beaten Port Adelaide, Geelong, Richmond and Brisbane…. they got within 10 points of Melbourne, almost knocked over Collingwood and they fell by the narrowest of margins to Carlton. That’s the form of a team with capabilities on the up, but they can put in a dodgy one.But the stats that allows us to enter the game with a respectful and healthy confidence lie in the defence standings. We’re second in the league for restricting opposition scoring while the Hawks are twelfth. With Mitch Lewis out of their side, its difficult to see them kicking a substantial score. Sorry JL we might have just gotten ahead of ourselves.We talk Freddy and his not so sneaky six-day break sip. It’s JL’s 50th and we take a step back and admire what he has astonishingly achieved in such a short period of time, the ridiculous Griffin Logue talk is increasing, the imbecilic 'trade Fyfe' nonsense is lingering and then we round for home with an interesting Ask Jojo question. Getting us across the finishing line, the Chief, believe it or not, is orchestrating one final attempt at getting Ryan Crowley on the podcast for a special bye weekend episode and he’s putting the call out to everyone to join the campaign… or as he calls it, The Clampaign. So, if you’re a glutton for ear insulting punishment, pick up a six day break breaching six pack, push play and pass the time listening to this purple nonsense before participating in the Chief’s poxy podcast plan.
