3/4 TIME: FREMANTLE 49 - ESSENDON 46

ESSENDON has charged back into contention against Fremantle after booting the only five goals of the third quarter.

Live HQ: Fremantle v Essendon

In a complete reversal of the first term, the home side could manage no run or clean chain of possessions as a fired-up Bombers side dominated from siren to siren.

Two 50m penalties in quick succession handed Stewie Crameri his third goal on the cusp of the siren to cut the margin to three points.

The Dockers led by six goals at the main break.

Captain Jobe Watson sprung to life, while counterpart Matthew Pavlich remains blanketed by young Don Jake Carlisle.

HALFTIME: FREMANTLE 47 - 11 ESSENDON

DOCKER Matt de Boer has totally silenced Essendon captain Jobe Watson in a reflection of the Bombers' night at Patersons Stadium.

The Dons could salvage just one goal in the first half - which came courtesy of a Michael Hurley miss-kick that landed in the lap of Stewie Crameri.

In the error-riddled and at times ugly contest - mainly owing to the slippery conditions - the Dockers took a six-goal lead to the main break.

Nat Fyfe was the catalyst with his class and goal sense coming to the fore in the second term.

He carried 75 SuperCoach points into the main break, while Watson took until the second term to register his first kick.

1/4 TIME: FREMANTLE 33 - 3 ESSENDON

A SLICK Fremantle has totally outplayed Essendon in the first quarter with its fierce defensive pressure suffocating the Dons into sloppy turnovers and overusing the ball.

It took 11 minutes for Hayden Ballantyne to score the first goal but another four followed for the Dockers despite losing defender Luke McPharlin to injury.

McPharlin was cleaned up by Paddy Ryder with a big bump, forcing him out of the match. Cam Sutcliffe was activated to replace the All-Australian.

Jobe Watson couldn't get a single kick in the first quarter, shutdown by Matt de Boer.

Jake Carlisle has Matthew Pavlich, while tagger Ryan Crowley was surprisingly sent to Brent Stanton.

The Dons have been smashed in the inside 50 count, with their best chance of goal coming after the siren, but ruckman Tom Bellchambers sprayed it wide.

The winner will hold top position on the ladder tonight with both side's undefeated and looking ominous in the first two rounds.

The Dockers again handed their green vest to Cam Sutcliffe.

Essendon senior assistant coach Mark Thompson said tagger Heath Hocking could go to any number of star Dockers tonight, including Michael Barlow, David Mundy and Nat Fyfe.

Thompson also said the Dons would throw Jobe Watson forward if serial tagger Ryan Crowley pegs the Brownlow medallist down tonight.
