Danyle Pearce says Fremantle will have no problem maintaining its hunger this season, after an undefeated start to the year.

Fremantle is the only undefeated team in the AFL and is two games clear on top of the ladder, ahead of its Round 9 clash against Adelaide.

But that means little, according to Pearce, who said Fremantle still has plenty to play for.

“We haven’t won a premiership,” he said.

“Hawthorn is back to back premiers, that’s who everyone is chasing.”

Fremantle's miserly defence.

Pearce said the players could easily maintain hunger all year.

“We are still hunting,” he said.

“We can’t put our hands up and say we’ve done anything.

“That’s where the hunger is.

“We are striving like 17 other teams to win a premiership.”
