Preview:

The Dockers take on the Cats on Saturday, 5.40PM Western Time at Patersons Stadium.  This looks like a killer match-up, with the Cats on fire and Fremantle looking to rebound from an 18-point loss against Port Adelaide in round eight.  These two sides always manage to put on a good show, and this weekend will be no exception.  Fremantle have beaten Geelong in the last two finals these sides have played against each other, and that fact alone makes this a must-watch game.

The Cats had a bye last round and will travel west for this match fresh and feeling confident.  With just one loss to their name against Port Adelaide in round six, they do have the better form going into this match.  However, travelling to Perth is never easy, and Geelong have struggled a bit away from home this season.  All the ingredients are there for a killer match, with the Dockers possibly having the edge due to their home ground advantage and shear desperation for a win.
