From some of the comments made on this site and others it seems as if Freo still aren't seen to be legitimate contenders for the premiership. Just wondering what your thoughts are on the Dockers and there chances to be premiers..?From some of the comments made on this site and others it seems as if Freo still aren't seen to be legitimate contenders for the premiership.

They're not flying under Hawthorn's radar. After Hawthorn crush Geelong Fremantle's next.

They're in the box seat to win competition. The only way they're going to lose to Sydney is if they choke. The Swans are shot to bits and Freo have had a week off. Geelong and Hawthorn will surely have a beligerant contest with one another so Freo should be primed to pick off the winner on Grand Final day.

They had a pretty easy run this year so I still don't really rate them. Their so called stars aren't as great to me as they apparently are. Hawks as long as they beat Cats will demolish Freo. I do think they will beat Sydney though since they are battered.

Well the Swans are actually Traveling to Perth with 3 Major players sitting out. Fremantle at home are a damn good Chance to make this year's Granny. I'm still predicting a Geelong v Fremantle Grand Final.

I'm yet to be convinced. They did us over at Kardinia but it was ugly and the Cats played badly (part of it was forced on them by good Freo defence) I've seen Ross Lyon coached sides fall at the last one or two hurdles before. Their style requires a lot of persisted effort and I just feel that might take its toll eventually. They're a 1 in 4 chance I reckon. Simple as that. Hawthorn remain favourites and rightly so. Geelong, Freo and Sydney should all then be about equal behind them
