Dockers already staring down barrel as superstar returns as sub – LIVE AFL

Fremantle return home to Perth desperately needing a win over second-last placed Hawthorn to get their stuttering season back on track.

The Hawks (1-6, 65.1%) may be sitting on just one win, but the young Hawthorn outfit are pushing sides in impressive signs for coach Sam Mitchell.
