All over here.

The Dogs' backlinekept doing what they do, with Johanissen, Murphy and Biggs all playing big games today.

They had plenty chip in through the midfield, and Stringer was good fun to watch, he finished with five. Macrae and Hunter were busy all day, Stevens too.

Nice to see Libba picking up where he left off, too. Back from his knee reconstruction he had 25 touches (11 contested) and won a few big clearances.

Nineteen Bulldogs either kicked a goal, a behind or had a score assist.

Siren's gone, but Caleb Daniel has the footy.

He was given a free for his tackle on Freo ruckman Zac Clarke. Yes, you read that right.

GOAL!

Stringer, again! Best on ground?

He's kicked his fifth from a step outside 50.

Less than two minutes to go now.

Tom Boyd's on the board, kicking a long set shot to score his first and the Dogs' 12th.

Quiet start today, but he's found ways to get involved the longer the game has gone, that was his seventh kick and 10th disposal.

Slow patch here, 12 minutes in.

The Dogs will win, but have blown a lot of chances to put this one very much away.

Freo's managed to edge their way into the game, but hasn't even looked like being able to go on any real scoring spree.

Stringer's now lining up for his fourth...
