Shutting down Stringer will go a long way to us winning this game. Essendon don't have a wealth of tall forwards at the moment with both Wright and Weid on the sidelines, meaning Stringer will likely be their main avenue to goal. I'd almost be tempted in giving May the job if he starts forward.

Another nice mark and goal by Dogga.

Forget a top 4-7 pick, pick three could well be on the cards the way Fremantle are playing.

Equal leading goalkickers so far this year alongside Fritsch with 9 to date. I know many here have mixed feelings about Brown, but he's been finding the middle of the big sticks this year.

Thought Sparrow was 'above standard' today. Starting to his use strength to break away from tackles.

Petty was probably our one negative from the day. Never looked settled in the forward line, lost some easy one-on-ones and was moved back to defence. Think BBB might have to bide his time at Casey until the opportunity presents itself

Trent Rivers has arrived. 27 touches at 78% with 6 tackles.

Umpires have no sense of theatre.

Trac starting to emerge from his slumber.

Fritsch having a field day up forward. Three goals and seven touches so far.

Macca again! Beauty of a pass to Fritta!

That was much better movement. Goal Spargo McDonald doing everything he can to cement his spot in the side.

Trac and Oliver very quiet early

Rivers has started well again

Kelly loves to rack them up against us.

Pressure from the Eagles has been first rate so far. Great mark and goal from TMac.

The Channel 7 support for Collingwood is embarrassing.

What's happened to Caleb Daniels' kicking? He couldn't miss with his kicks a few years ago. Seems to be a primary suspect in many Bulldog turnovers these days.

Like the look of Ed Richards. Smooth mover Nice to see JUH kick a bag against another team for a change.

Some highlights of Sestan just popped up on YT. Lively looking customer.

Can someone explain why we've only taken FOUR contested marks so far this year? I know things were a bit slippery up north but Brisbane managed to take eight to our measly two.

Not concerned about this. Tommo was good last week and probably unlucky to be dropped. Happy for May to take all the time he needs to be 100%

Just the lazy 25 touches and 6 goals for Cameron.
