AFL ROUND 8 2007: GEELONG V FREMANTLE; MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM LISTS PLUS TV / RADIO BROADCAST DETAILS
Ben Jensen 17 May 2007

By Ben Jensen GEELONG is looking to spank another sandroper in the Fremantle Dockers, less than a week after dispatching the West Coast Eagles. 'Max' Rooke has returned in place of Tom Hawkins while Steven King remains in the VFL. Captain Tom Harley has been named at full back in the VFL team but it is uncertain if he will play. Livewire midfielder / forward Paul Chapman will miss at least another week each with injury.

LAST TIME

ROUND 12 2006, SUBIACO
17 June 2006

THE CATS stunned the Dockers, winning by 66 points at Subiaco this afternoon. Despite a terrible record interstate in recent years, and not having won in WA since 2001, the Cats never looked like losing. Fremantle were Dockers by name, Shockers by nature.

Gary Ablett Junior kicked six goals, Brad Ottens four in a comprehensive pasting of the hapless Dockers. Cameron Mooney was best for the Cats. Kent Kingsley replaced Andrew Mackie in the selected side, while Captain Steven King and Kane Tenace returned well from injury.

It was Mark Thompson's 150th game as coach of Geelong, after joining in 2000. Scarlett was one of Geelong's best, and appears to have overcome his early season blues, as he did last season, and should be under consideration for the All Australian team for the third time.
