Treacy the Key as Dockers Finally Beat Bulldogs Flood
Josh Treacy kicked three goals as Fremantle’s second-half surge extended its perfect home record to 11-0 and kept the minor premiership within reach.
- On Friday, Fremantle defeated the Western Bulldogs 78-41 at Optus Stadium, securing a 37-point victory. Josh Treacy and Hayden Young celebrated their 100th games in the win, which pushed the Dockers to an 18-2 record.
- Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge denied deliberately plotting a 'stifling, contested battle' to clog Fremantle's forward half. By Beveridge's own admission, the Bulldogs 'fuelled Fremantle's game' at Optus Stadium.
- Spurred on by 53,524 fans, Fremantle kicked seven goals to one in the second half to break the stalemate. Treacy finished with 3.2, while Luke Jackson added two goals from his ruck dominance.
- The victory guarantees Fremantle a top-two berth and two home finals with their 18-2 record. They now sit four wins ahead of Sydney, all but guaranteeing the minor premiership.
- With three rounds remaining, the Bulldogs face North Melbourne, Carlton, and Melbourne in succession. They may need to win all three matches to snare a top-six berth and avoid the wildcard round.
