pressure's building on mercenary "I'm only here for the money" choker coach Lyons, not surprised he snapped at the reporter. if they lose this they are gone with no chance of recovery
Defiant Fremantle coach Ross Lyon says his team's poor form after six-day breaks this season is not a concern as it heads into Saturday's cutthroat final-round match against Port Adelaide at Patersons Stadium.
As the Dockers waited anxiously on the fitness of captain Matthew Pavlich, who must train today to be available for selection, Lyon declared the past irrelevant. Fremantle have played six matches after short breaks this season and have won just once - against Richmond at the MCG in round 13.
The five losses they have suffered account for all but one of their 2014 defeats. The only time Fremantle have lost after a seven- day break or more this season was against Geelong at Simonds Stadium in round 20 when David Mundy narrowly missed the shot that would have given them victory after the siren.
The losses after the shorter breaks include the team's two worst efforts of the season- the round-three capitulation to Hawthorn and the round-18 boilover against St Kilda.
