The run home

9. Fremantle
Right now: 40 points (10 wins, seven losses) 106.90%
The run home: West Coast (H), Adelaide (A), Richmond (H), North Melbourne (A), Melbourne (H)

People seem keen to point out Fremantle's inferior percentage but there's no mistaking the fact that they have won their past four in a row. With that in mind, it all comes down to Saturday's Western derby for the Dockers.

Win that â€" and we think they will - and their draw will open up enough for them to scrape into the eight despite losses to Adelaide and North.

That will set up a first-ever Western derby elimination final, negating Fremantle's away disadvantage and infuriating West Coast fans.

that is a very brave assumption

I would fancy their chances v Adelaide the dockers like playng the crows up at AMMI

i would like them to see them win 1 of their next 2 providing they win their last 3 in a row

[roo boys!]

Derby's are always tough contests and almost impossible to back someone in with confidence, but on current form West Coast should get up (it's all good and well to say you have won your last 4, but look who they've been against... ::)) and Adelaide at Adelaide will be a tough assignment. Wins against the Tigers and Dees and it will all come down to North vs Freo at Etihad rd22. The fact it is in Melbourne gives us a big advantage.

I agree its probably gonna come down to the round 22 clash between Norf and Freo.  I wouldnt say that WC's form is that great either

Lions: Win
Crows: Loss
Swans: Loss
Kangas: Win (by 2 points)
Suns: Win

They have only won the games against lower sides - same as the Dockers.

[roo boys!]

Last week they were very dominant against the Lions, who are a better side than the Power, who you beat fairly comfortably in the end but I wouldn't say dominated. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, promises to be a great match!

Where do you get that opinion from? Adelaide have won 3 of the last 4 they have played at AAMI, including the 130-13 point smashing back in 2009!

Cant disagree with the facts.  Should be a good game against the Crows this weekend, Freo are in excellent form at the moment.  If we can win this and North can dispose of the Bombers I would be a very happy Freo supporter.

What are the chances of Tippett playing?
