Fremantle coach Mark Harvey has urged his team to display greater fight against the Bulldogs when the AFL top-four hopefuls clash at Patersons Stadium on Monday.

The Dockers have lost their past six encounters with the Bulldogs and Harvey said it was time for his troops to show greater fight against their bogy side.

"To be honest with us we've let the Dogs off the leash in the last three years and we need to make sure they bark a bit more and chase us a little bit more," Harvey said on Friday.

"Everyone's talking about the Essendon-Collingwood game. Well this game will have it all, too.

"Apart from the first game when (the Bulldogs) got challenged by the Bombers they've been in pretty good form.

"... They're a quality side and they've been up there for the last five, six years."
