AFL: Fremantle make their first trip to Melbourne in red-hot form as they aim for a seventh straight victory against a revamped Western Bulldogs line-up.
The Dockers have not won seven on the trot since 2015, but the Bulldogs will hope Tim English’s comeback can help them out of their tailspin sparked by an injury crisis.
These two sides played out a thriller in the final round of last season, and it should be another cracking prime time clash.

Welcome
Welcome
Hello and welcome as Fremantle take on Western Bulldogs under Friday night lights.
The roof is open at Marvel Stadium after a glorious day in Melbourne.
The weather gods have turned it on for the Dockers with a sunny day more akin to May in Perth than in Victoria, as temperatures sat in the mid 20s.
Fremantle will be met by perfect conditions as they attempt to win their seventh game in a row.
