The Dockers have beat up on the Eagles again but it wasn’t their best performance.

They were scrappy and ugly at times but they are three levels above the rebuilding Eagles.

Herbert, Reid and Kelly all collect 30 touches for the Eagles and while the highest Docker, Johnson, is on 27, Fremantle’s use and distribution has been much better.

Fremantle had more than 50 inside 50s and scored from more than 65 per cent of them which is well above their 55 per cent average.

They also take the clearances comfortably in the end after the Eagles beat them in that area before halftime.

West Coast had nothing to celebrate after halftime kicking just one goal and going scoreless in the last quarter.
