Fremantle Dockers vs Western Bulldogs Preview
Fremantle slipped down to 11th on the AFL ladder with a disappointing 46 point loss to Port Adelaide on Sunday evening.
However the final margin does not reflect their effort in the contest.
They won the clearances 34-32 and only narrowly lost the contested possession count 133-135 and inside 50s 58-60.
When they did reach the forward 50, it was their efficiency once inside that let them down, using the ball effectively only 39.7% of the time while in the most dangerous part of the ground.
The Western Bulldogs were jumped in the early stages of their top of the table clash with Melbourne which ultimately lost them the game of football.
A trip to the other side of the country will not be enough to stop the Doggies train from rolling on and they should get the job done against an inexperienced, but rejuvenated Fremantle side.
