Fremantle Dockers,Getting Home,Matthew Pavlich

AFL: Carlton were too slick for the GWS Giants, coming from behind in the third quarter to hand the visitors their first loss of the season.

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir has lamented the AFL’s “brutal” fixture that forced the Dockers to endure a month away from home fans .

“Not going to sit here and use that as an excuse – I thought we had a good week’s prep. We got beaten by what we prepared for,” he said. Former Docker Matthew Pavlich said Fremantle “completely lost” their structure after quarter time as the Eagles piled on 10 goals to four.
