NEWS: Geelong player Harry Taylor believes "He's great at influencing contests, has a very long reach and is able to get in there effect the contest. He's able to get there arm in and already has 70 spoils on the season, he also does a fantastic job reading the play and getting in the right spot. We have to make him as accountable as possible, even playing someone on him pretty tight making sure than he cant come off and help his team mates in the back half. We also need to respect a champion, I'm really big on respecting champions of our game and Dustin is certainly one of those players." | ||||

NEWS: Essendon general manager of football operations Paul Hamilton "We think Fletch should be fine, we will once again monitor him throughout the week but we were confident it was only ever going to be one week.

NEWS: Essendon Coach James Hird said post match "Fletch has been carrying a very slight groin strain for probably four weeks. He hurt it in the Carlton game [in round four], and in a remarkable effort he backed up and played against Collingwood [four days later]. He played Brisbane, played West Coast, and was just sore on it tonight. He wasn't turning as well as we would've liked, so he's one that would be in doubt for next week, but in a week it should heal." | ||||
