Fremantle will consolidate their spot in the top eight with a comfortable win over Essendon in AFL Round 15.
The Dockers sit in 8th spot on the ladder with a win-loss record of 8-5 and come off a six-point win over the improving North Melbourne outfit last weekend. They have now won four in a row.

- Andrew Brayshaw has averaged 32.5 disposals in his past four matches against Essendon.
