10pm - Dockers reign supreme
Fremantle 0.7.6 (48)
Geelong 0.4.6 (30)
FREMANTLE has triumphed by three goals over Geelong at Paterson's Stadium.

Mayne was in all sorts of bother lying on his back over the boundary line after rolling his right ankle in a tackle.
But the lead up forward recovered a short time later, walking around the boundary line and into the rooms, as the Dockers held sway.
Joel Selwood and Mitch Brown were the best of the Cats with two goals apiece.

It was the Cats third successive goal to silence a parochial Paterson's Stadium crowd.
Travis Varcoe was solid off half back before drifting forward to kick a goal and give the Cats a sniff.

West Coast 0.2.0 (12)

Pre-match: All eyes will be on Eagles sharpshooter Mark LeCras, making his comeback from a knee reconstruction, in tonight's round-robin series.
LeCras missed all of last year after breaking down at training. He last suited up for the Eagles in 2011.
Former Collingwood midfielder Sharrod Wellingham will also be making his debut as the Eagles take on Geelong and then Fremantle in the last game of the night.
But the Eagles will be without stars Dean Cox (finger), Mark Nicoski (hamstring), Matthew Rosa (hamstring) and Nic Naitanui (groin) sidelined with injury.
Meanwhile, Geelong has injury problems of its own with ruckmen Hamish McIntosh (knee), Dawson Simpson (back) and Nathan Vardy sitting out the NAB Cup opener.
Trent West is expected to shoulder the bulk of the load at the stoppages with star midfielders Jimmy Bartel, Joel Corey, Steve Johnson and Joel Selwood attacking the contests.
