Fremantle Dockers not taking improving Gold Coast lightly Fremantle youngster Lachie Neale tries to stop Gold Coast's Campbell Brown from getting away. Picture: Jerad Williams Source: Gold Coast Bulletin IT was the game that left Fremantle coach Ross Lyon feeling sick in the stomach. Almost a year ago to the day, the Dockers just scraped home against Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium after trailing the second-year Suns late in the final term. Guy McKenna's fledgling side, currently with two wins from five games this season, will almost certainly be backing themselves to take the four points when they host Fremantle on Saturday night after pushing the Dockers all the way in last year's corresponding fixture. Fremantle defender Lee Spurr stressed his team would not be taking the young Suns lightly. "Gold Coast are a very good side," Spurr said. They're an improving young list with another pre-season under their belt. They're going to be a tough challenge...we're under no illusions about that. They've got a lot of young, talented players and if you let them get away from you or don't pay them the respect they deserve, they can quickly bob up and kick six or whatever. Fremantle must overcome Gold Coast without versatile big man Kepler Bradley, who is out for the season after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in the thrilling one-point win over Richmond last Friday night. And key midfielder Nat Fyfe could also miss the clash after being hit with a one-match ban for kicking, although the Dockers are challenging the sanction at the AFL Tribunal tonight. Skipper Matthew Pavlich (achilles) and ruckman Aaron Sandilands (hamstring) are also on the sidelines, but Spurr insisted his side had the depth to cover the club's injury crisis. "We're not at all about one player makes a team," Spurr said "We believe we've got a structure that really stands up under pressure. We're all very disappointed for Kepler. He's a great bloke, so we're going to support him and be there for him and help him get through this. Spurr, who was drafted by Fremantle in 2011 as a mature-age rookie, has played every game this season, but refuses to believe his spot in the side is safe. "Every game you get a bit more experience and you feel a bit more comfortable," the 25-year-old said. I think being a mature age player does help you. You're physically a bit stronger and a bit more used to the wear and tear of AFL. But in saying that, a lot of the young guys coming in and pushing for spots means there's a lot of competition at our club. I think everyone every game realises that there is pressure on for spots and you've got to keep performing. If you let your guard slip, you're spot is in jeopardy. Saturday night's clash with also see Greg Broughton line up against his former side for the first time since being told by Lyon late last season his services were no longer required at Fremantle. And Doig medallist Ryan Crowley will renew hostilities with Suns skipper and ball magnet Gary Ablett.
