There are plenty of options in the Essendon v Sydney Swans game at Etihad Stadium. Picking the right midfielders will be the key to the win here, with Jobe Watson, Dyson Heppell, Brent Stanton and Brendon Goddard all worthy picks for the Bombers, while the form of Josh Kennedy, Kieren Jack and Dan Hannebery will make for interesting times at the Fantasy selection table. Lockout: Friday 7:50pm (AEST). For Fremantle v Geelong, Matthew Pavlich is playing his 300th match and while it may feel like a sentimental pick, his form against the Cats is pretty good. In the last five years he has posted scores of 124, 127, 126, 125 and 112 against the Cats. Get him in your forward line and cheer on the milestone man!

Other than West Coast, Fremantle have arguably been the best side in the first two rounds. They smashed Collingwood before putting Gold Coast away last week in a hard slog in the wet weather. The Hawks comfortably beat Brisbane in round 1 before a last gasp goal got them the win over Essendon last Friday night.

The ANZAC Day blockbuster between Collingwood and Essendon has become one of our biggest national sporting events. The spirit and emotion of ANZAC Day has helped build this event into one of the great sporting traditions of Australia.

AFL great Leigh Matthews used that famous Predator movie quote to inspire Brisbane to victory over Essendon in 2001, and Gold Coast have adopted the same mantra as they attempt to take down Fremantle in Perth on Saturday night.The Dockers have become nearly unbeatable at Patersons Stadium over the past 20 months, with the premiership favourites losing just one game at home during that period.

will have great memories of its last clash with the Swans, a 25-point preliminary final victory at Patersons Stadium. Apart from a poor performance against Hawthorn in round three, the Dockers have again been strong this season and are coming off an impressive 53-point triumph over Essendon. They meet a Swans outfit that is feeling some significant pressure. Losses in three of their four games to start the year leaves them well below expectations. But these Swans have plenty of pride and it would be unwise to write off their long list of champion players just yet

WEST COAST have swung the changes for a second straight week as captain Darren Glass, Matt Rosa, Chris Masten, Luke Shuey and Mark Hutchings return. Sam Butler, Will Schofield, Pat McGinnity, Scott Lycett and Brandt Colledge make way. PORT ADELAIDE regain Chad Wingard for the trip west. ESSENDON supporters will get some good news and bad news. Paul Chapman, Paddy Ryder, David Myers and Dustin Fletcher return while Brendon Goddard, Jason Winderlich, Travis Colyer and Dylan Van Unen ST KILDA have also made mass changes for Saturday night's match with Adam Schneider, Josh Bruce, Seb Ross, Tom Hickey and Jack Billings returning. Beau Maister, David Armitage, Shane Savage, Billy Longer and Nathan Wright are out. WESTERN BULLDOGS has regained Luke Dahlhaus.

FREMANTLE will have great memories of its last clash with the Swans, a 25-point preliminary final victory at Patersons Stadium.

The Kangaroos are now outside of the top eight with a 4-3 season record.The Lions were in action last week when going down narrowly in a low-scoring affair as they lost 65-57 to the Essendon Bombers. That result leaves the Lions with the worst record in the league having gone 1-7 ahead of next week's bye.The two sides shared last year's fixtures 1-1 but North Melbourne did win the game at Etihad Stadium.

The Swans lose ruckman Mike Pyke for the big game while Brandon Jack is omitted. HAWTHORN lose key players Sam Mitchell, Brian Lake for the trip to Sydney. However, Kyle Cheney, Ben Stratton and Will Langford return to bolster the Hawks defence. BRISBANE get a huge boost with the return of Jonathan Brown for the game against Essendon at the Gabba. The Lions have also recalled Matt Maguire, Pearce Hanley and Jackson Paine while Luke McGuane, James Polkinghorne, Rohan Bewick and Mitch Golby are out.
