Fremantle trained strongly in the wet this morning ahead of Saturday’s clash against Essendon at Patersons Stadium.

After a series of push-ups, the players spread into full-ground drills and looked sharp, despite the difficult conditions.

Round 11 casualties Stephen Hill (ankle) and Zac Dawson (knee) did not train.

Jay van Berlo (shoulder) participated in the session, as did Josh Mellington, who is recovering from a long-term hamstring injury.

Antoni Grover also looked to have recovered from a hamstring injury that has kept him out of action in recent weeks.
