Three weeks is a long time in football, just ask the Fremantle Dockers.

Three weeks ago, they would have been rank outsiders against the Hawks. But now they are slender favourites to knock-off the reigning premiers. 

But despite Hawthorn’s long injury list and the Docker’s three-game winning streak, Coach Mark Harvey believes Fremantle are still the underdogs.

Harvey has named Luke McPharlin and Chris Tarrant as likely match-ups for Lance Franklin and Jarryd Roughead, while captain Matthew Pavlich is again likely to plug holes in the midfield.

The door is also ajar for Des Headland to make his long-awaited AFL return.
