Fremantle in firm control at quarter time at a very, very wet MCG!<\/p>\n

The Dockers rammed home three goals inside the first three minutes, and we looked like we were going to be in for a really ugly afternoon, before the Bombers struck back.<\/p>\n

Still, there appears to be a very obvious gulf in class and experience between these two sides, so it wouldn’t surprise me if the margin grows.<\/p>\n

The good news for Essendon is they’ve looked like scoring whenever they’ve managed to get the ball forward.<\/p>\n

Freo leads the inside 50 count 20-7, but the Dons have generated four scores from those seven inside 50s.<\/p>\n

Essendon is also edging the clearance count 8-7 after being smashed in the opening minutes, so there are small wins out there.<\/p>\n

Caleb Serong leads all players with 10 disposals and also has two clearances. He is made for these conditions, so it’s no surprise to see him getting a stack of the footy.<\/p>\n

Zach Merrett is Essendon’s leading ball-winner with seven touches, while Sam Durham has two clearanes.<\/p>\n

In more good news for Essendon, Peter Wright was able to return to the field after coming off early on with a knee concern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Treacy kicked two goals in a dominant opening quarter against Essendon at the MCG.
