HAWKS must kill the curse, Zac's dirty day and umps side with Cats. The big talking points from Fremantle's shock win.

THE CURSE RETURNS

Fremantle's upset win throws the draw for the next three weeks of finals upside-down - and the biggest losers (apart from the Cats) are Richmond and Hawthorn. If the Tigers can overcome Carlton tomorrow, they must head to Sydney next weekend and then potentially to Perth for a preliminary final. But it's worse for Hawthorn, with the Cats now thrown in the same half of the draw as the Hawks - that means if favourites salute it will be a Hawks v Cats preliminary final. So Hawthorn suddenly needs to beat the side it hasn't overcome since the 2008 Grand Final just to get to the playoff this year. Where's Jeff Kennett?

ZAC ATTACK

Zac Dawson had a bizarre day, starting when he was reported before the opening bounce after a scuffle with James Podsiadly. That charge is likely to be thrown out by the match review panel but he might not be so lucky with a hit on Joel Selwood later in the game that resulted in a down-field free kick. In between he gave away a free off the ball for a jab to Podsiadly's stomach and chose to spoil instead of marking when in the clear - both resulting in Geelong goals.

HOME-GROUND ADVANTAGE?

Geelong gladly took the opportunity to stage a final at Simonds Stadium and the atmosphere was incredible, the roar for the Cats matched by the eerie silence when the Dockers hit the front. The decision may have had an added benefit - at one stage early in the match the Cats led the free kick count 8-2, with a couple leading to goals. Geelong won the final tally 25-19, with Joel Selwood (five frees for), Allen Christensen (three) and James Podsiadly (three) the greatest beneficiaries. Michael Barlow, Stephen Hill, Nat Fyfe and Zac Dawson combined for two frees for and 12 against.
