The Dockers have played terrific football defeating the Hawks...

Fremantle kicked 5 goals in the opening quarter 3 of which came off the boot of skipper Matthew Pavlich. The Hawks struggled to maintain a reliable forward structure for all of the quarter. On the rare occassion when they earned a free kick or took a mark inside the forward fifty. They would squander their opportunity. The quarter time score:

Fremantle 5-3-33
Hawthorn 0-3-3

They continued to struggle throughout the second and third quarters kicking just 6 goals to Fremantle 12 up until 3 quarter time. The dockers run off half back killed Hawthorn the dockers playing like kings to lead by 37 points at half time.

They continued to dominate kicking 4 of the first 5 goals in the third term. Giving Fremantle a 50 point lead, before Hawthorn slammed on 4 goals in 7 minutes courtesy of Lance Franklin who kicked his first of the day, Shane Crawford and Trent Croad who kicked the last 2 goals in the final minute of the quarter.

Match Wrap Up: Fremantle Scrabble Their Way To A 21 Point Win

The Dockers have beaten the Saints....

Fremantle got off to a flying start kicking the first and only 3 goals of the opening quarter through spearheads Tarrant, Murphy, and Pavlich. They dominated around the stoppages, and their drive inside the forward 50 put plenty of pressure on the Saint Kilda defense resulting in scores against them. The quarter time score:

Fremantle 3-5-23
St Kilda 0-2-2

Fremantle continued the dominate pattern making it 4 in a row once midfielder Byron Schammer popped one in from 20 metres. But it was than that the Saints got on the board... twice. From Aaron Hamil and Fergus Watts but late goals from Fremantle ensured a comfortable half time advantage. The half time Score:

Fremantle 6-13-49
St Kilda 2-7-19

The Saints showed fight in the third term kicking quick goals after Freo Forward Chris Tarrant popped through his second. The third quarter was a scratchy affair with Roger Hayden for Fremantle getting reported for striking St Kilda's Lenny Hayes. But it was the Dockers who held the lead, the three quarter time score:

Fremantle 7-17-59
St Kilda 4-11-35

The final term was a much more free flowing quarter as soon as goals to Longmuir and Riewoldt occurred. St Kilda where being put under the pump with injuries to Milne and Dal Santo. Fremantle took advantage of the sore and unfit bench sending the ball to skipper Matthew Pavlich who put through his third despite being very off target kicking another 7 behinds. But the Saints managed to stop the margin blowing out when Riewoldt marked 45 metres out and kicked his second and final goal of the match. The final score again:

Match Wrap Up: Collingwood hold on to rallying Fremantle:

Collingwood have managed to hold on a galant Dockers outfit.....

The Pies got off to a great start to this Friday Night blockbuster kicking the first 3 goals. Through Cloke, Rocca and Thomas. But it was than that Fremantle rallied kicking 2 both from Chris Tarrant against his old club. But it was Alan Didak who answered giving the pies the lead to the tune of 16 points, the score...

Collingwood 4-4-28
Fremantle 2-0-12

Fremantle answered in the second term booting 4 of the first 5 goals. Sandilandes was dominate in the ruck and Justin Longmuir booted through 3 of his own up forward. The pies answered though through Cloke who kicked a couple of steadiers for the pies. The half time score:

Collingwood 8-9-57
Fremantle 7-2-44

In a very even third term it is the Pies who still lead. They kicked the first of the quarter through Cloke yet again before Tarrant and Longmuir popped through goals. Lockyer and Burns answered with majors but in the final minute of the term Jeff Farmer put through one of his own, the three quarter time score:

Collingwood 12-11-83

Wow really close match. Shame you couldn't come up on top. Been to inconsistent lately!

 

[Ezuma]

Inconsistent... sounds like a regular season by Freo, hehe ^_^

And with Freo relying on Pavlich to kick goals... I wouldn't even CONSIDER moving Pavlich from the forward line. He is a ball magnet (in real life and games) so having him inside 50 is the most obvious thing to do... and he's kicking all your goals. I'd consider rotating forwards in and out of the squad, like Taz, Farmer, Murphy, Mayne, that lot.

You'd be MAD to move Pav out of the forward line... if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Round 11, Sunday, 2:40 PM, Subiaco Oval

Weather-Fine, Sunny,Warm

Line Up:

Match Wrap Up: Fremantle Hold on to Courages Tigers:

Fremantle have managed to hold off a surging tigers to win by 5 points.....

Both teams struggled for goals early. Misfiring on numerous opportunity's before Shane Tuck for the Tigers earned a free kick in the goal square and put through the first of the match. But just minutes later in time on Matthew Pavlich marked and put through his and the dockers first to go quarter time leaders.

Fremantle 1-5-11
Richmond 1-3-9

The second term was a much free flowing affair the dockers put through the first 2 of the term from Chris Tarrant and Matthew Pavlich. But that was before the Tigers put the pedal to the metal slamming on 4 goal straight. But Ryan Murphy took a pack mark late in the quarter and goaled to close the gap. The half time score..

Fremantle 4-6-30
Richmond 5-6-36

It was raining goals in the second term. Fremantle booted 6 to the Tigers 5 for the quarter. Fremantle Ryan Crowley got the first of the term and Fremantle followed it up with the next 3 from Pavlich and Tarrant. The Tigers managed back to back goal and when Nathan Brown kicked a fantastic running snap from the boundary line it looked as though the Tigers would than roll Fremantle. But Tarrant put that to rest kicking his third. The Tigers again kicked 2 in a row but Pavlich reduced the margin to 2 points with a late goal for his sixth. The 3 quarter time score

Fremantle 10-9-69
Richmond 10-11-71

It looked to be a thriller but Richmond showed obvious signs of fatigue early in the final quarter with numerous tired kicks and turnovers. Resulting in Fremantle goals the dockers put together 4 straight 3 of which came off Chris Tarrants boot. Richmond's Troy Simmonds managed to put through his third. But when Chris Tarrant goaled his 7th it looked to finish a landslide affair. But it would be in favor of the Tigers. Booting 3 in a row from Newman, Foley, and Tambling. But it would be to no avail Fremantle holding on for a 5 point win.

Good start to your story, but as other people have pointed out Footy Fanatic has updated lists and is very easy to use and very detailed and clean stats. You can also easily access and edit their database with all of the players, and edit skills, right foot kicking, handballing, marking, passing, tagging, height, weight, town of birth, etc.

hey i just got microsoft acces but i dont know how to change the players skills on footy fanatic fx please help

[punterpupnroy]

EDIT
