It turns out Fremantle just don't like teams with Coast in their name. The Dockers celebrated Matthew de Boer's 50th game by smashing the Suns both on the scoreboard and in the way they requires radical re-constructive surgery. It was a brutal second half with more Suns going down than late afternoon on Tatooine as the Dockers appeared to compete to see who could inflict the most damage. The fleet footed, young and fit Suns gave the crippled Dockers some trouble in the first half, taking the half time lead with a late run of goals but, led by a young up and comer by the name of Matthew Pavlich (who according the stubby holders on sale was also playing a milestone game) Fremantle tore through the young Suns in the second half with 10 goals to their 2 and stormed home for a well received 50 point win.

Mark Harvey woke up conflicted. Not as conflicted as the time he’d bought new sunglasses and Fremantle were playing a night game but he certainly had some ponderings to muse over. On the one hand Fremantle needed a win. Their season was starting to have the makings of one of the greatest sporting achievements since the East German’s put sunglasses on an athlete, who’d died three weeks earlier, and took home gold in the down hill slalom. A win against the bottom of the ladder Suns was a must.
