FREMANTLE should be fresh after the bye, and will still be brimming with confidence following their emphatic win over Geelong in round nine. Meanwhile the Bulldogs have continued to struggle when it comes to putting together a four-quarter effort, with a third-term lapse costing them dearly against Gold Coast last Sunday. The trip to Melbourne will be of no concern to Ross Lyon's men, who have won six of their past seven games at Etihad Stadium, and should get the job done against an inconsistent Bulldogs side.
