Fremantle suffered a heartbreaking 1 point loss to Essendon last weekend after giving up a 25pt fourth quarter lead. It was only the 2nd loss in 7 games for the Dockers, breaking a 2 game win streak.
They now drop from 3rd to 6th on the ladder with Geelong, GWS and Port Adelaide to complete the run home.
The Bombers forward line woke to life late in the piece last weekend to kick 5 of the last 6 goals of the game. The Dockers themselves had wrestled back the momentum from their opponent in the 2nd quarter but could not go the distance.
Freo had fewer Inside 50’s (44) compared to their season average while also putting up an inferior number for Efficieny Inside 50 (43.2%).
