his side\u2019s 49-point win over West Coast<\/a> where he was seen signalling that teammate Oscar McDonald had been taken high.<\/p>\nBut he reigned the reaction in when McDonald was instead determined to be holding the ball.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a bit of an interesting week (laughs) \u2026 you\u2019ve got to learn that if a decision\u2019s made, you\u2019ve got to accept it and move on,\u201d he told foxfooty.com.au<\/p>\n
\u201cI was close to looking at the scoreboard (against West Coast) and I just reminded myself don\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the competitive nature.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s something as elite athletes we have to continue to control as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Worner\u2019s pleas went unheard, Eagle Tim Kelly converted the goal on three quarter time in a moment that proved a turning point for Freo.<\/p>\n
What followed was a passionate response from Fremantle\u2019s Andy Brayshaw and Josh Treacy who pulled teammates together before coaching staff could even get down on the ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat last (defensive) 50 stoppage \u2026 we didn\u2019t get it right,\u201d Worner said of the Kelly moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cAndy and JT are great leaders, they wanted to make sure we re-evaluate what we\u2019re valuing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt three quarter time, we were able to reassess and go again.\u201d<\/p>\n
The act won praise from coach Justin Longmuir.<\/p>\n
\u201cSee something, say something \u2013 don\u2019t wait for the coach. I\u2019m loving those moments that they are identifying and correcting before I have to,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Dockers kicked five of the next six goals to blow the margin out in some desperately needed percentage for Justin Longmuir\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
But a late flurry from the Eagles ensured the margin finished at 49 points \u2013 at a time Freo sits seven percent of their nearest rival (GWS) and eight percent off the Gold Coast Suns who still have a game in hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019d we kick? 18.18 and four out on the fulls? Yeah, we created plenty of opportunities to kick a good score \u2013 and we kicked a good score,\u201d Longmuir said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake away a couple of goals and add a couple more, it doesn\u2019t take much for a bit more percentage boost.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said to the players after the game it\u2019s been a bit of a trend for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe held Adelaide to 38 points or something to three quarter time and coughed up three or four goals from our back half just by going to sleep in that game. It was a bit the same in the GWS game.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou do that across the course of the year, you take one percent here and it adds up. We need to be a bit more ruthless in that sense and maybe that\u2019s the next step.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Western Derby win ensures Fremantle sit a win clear of the Suns inside the eight on 52 points \u2013 alongside the likes of Hawthorn and GWS.<\/p>\n
But Gold Coast still have a game in hand after that Opening Round weather delay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dockers defender Karl Worner admits he\u2019s learnt a lesson and won\u2019t be gesturing to the scoreboard any time…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,23595,64,63,689,55,639,9203,23594,23589,10124,10145,12147,2485,9130,10400,23588,677,23593,23592,23596,701,85,10139,23591,7067,23590],"class_list":["post-23540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-andy-brayshaw","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-catherine-healey","tag-eagle-tim-kelly","tag-elite-athletes","tag-fremantle-dockers","tag-garry-lyon","tag-gaz-flames","tag-gold-coast","tag-gold-coast-suns","tag-justin-longmuir","tag-karl-worner","tag-oceania","tag-oscar-mcdonald","tag-percentage-boost","tag-quarter-time","tag-queensland","tag-sports","tag-umpire-dissent","tag-weather-delay","tag-west-coast-eagles","tag-win-clear"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
