Key Events
Young gun
Cooper Hynes had a Rising Star nomination not that long ago and he is on fire to start tonight.
He’s had 13 touches and slots his second goal to fustrate the Dockers who are trying to get rolling.
FRE 16, WB 15
Found ‘em
Third times the charm for Treacy!
He gets another uncontested grab on a sharp lead and this time has no trouble dead in front, 40 metres out.
The Dockers are wearing the Dogs down who are pure defence at the moment.
FRE 16, WB 9
Give us a hand
Pearce has wounded his hand in a marking contest going back with the flight but after a quick check from the medico he looks fine.
Potentially the nail has moved.
Meanwhile, Treacy has missed another set shot and we remain goalless in the second term.
FRE 10, WB 9
QT: Fremantle 9, Western Bulldogs 8
There was not much to write about in that first term with both teams content to probe and just not give anything away.
Fremantle were the far more dangerous side though, forcing the Dogs to defend to the last line whenever they entered the forward half.
Williams and Liberatore lead the possession-getters with eight while Worner is the Dockers’ leader with seven disposals.
The Dogs only managed six inside 50s for the term despite only being behind by two in the clearance numbers but a late goal keeps them well and truly in the contest.
From small to big!
Dudley wins the high contact free kick in the forward 50 but his set shot from the boundary is terrible.
But it doesn’t matter when Jackson is lingering.
The big fella taps the contested mark in the air and then pulls it in on the way down.
He dobs the set shot from 20 metres out and we finally have a major on the board.
FRE 9, WB 1
Defense first
Both teams have a man behind the ball and it’s made scoring difficult.
The Dockers have missed a few shots and have been a little scrappy going inside 50.
The Dogs have only been forward a couple of times.
FRE 3, WB 1
Off the leash
Murphy Reid is already pulling all the strings for Fremantle.
He has given them two inside 50s and should have been set up for a set shot himself but Amiss’ kick just missed him.
The Dogs need to glue a man to his hip pronto.
FRE 2, WB 1
Underway!
The Dogs get the first clearance but the Dockers recover at half back.
Bolton’s run up the wing comes to a halt but the home side force a forward contest.
FRE 0, WB 0
Five minute warning
The teams are going through their last drills and the captains are making their way to the middle for the toss.
Welcome sight
The Dockers will be very happy to see this man back on the field.
His latest setback was a dose of illness but it’s been another rough year of injuries for the star midfielder.
