THURSDAY, JUNE 19
Fremantle vs. Essendon
Team news: The Dockers will be hoping Brandon Walker (shoulder) will be available this week, but skipper Alex Pearce will miss a third straight game with a shin injury. There's no reprieve for the young Bombers who continue to push through the longest injury list in the AFL. In saying that, Elijah Tsatas (30 disposals) and Dylan Shiel (27 and two goals) could be in the selection frame after solid outings in the VFL, while the club has also confirmed a debut for emerging young ruck Vigo Visentini.
