CibbuanoCan Fremantle win: Have your say
September 21st 2006 03:36
The Fremantle Dockers are in unchartered territory.
For the first time since their inception in 1995 they are in a preliminary final and one win away from a grand final berth in what has been a remarkable mid-season turnaround.
However, standing in the Dockers way are the mighty Sydney Swans who are on course for back-to-back premierships.
Friday night's preliminary final will be played at Telstra Stadium- unfamiliar surroundings for the Fremantle players.
Despite this, Docker coach Chris Connolly believes the venue could prove to be an advantage for his side, saying the dimensions are similiar to Subiaco Oval and will suit his team's running brand of football.
This may be all well and good in theory, but the 2000 Olympic venue doesn't hold any fears for the Swans either, having won eight of their past nine at the ground, including a 57-point demolition of Brisbane in round 21.
So who do you think will win. Have your say.
