 | Fremantle have gone down to the Western Bulldogs in what was shaping as the highest scoring match in the history of football. After starting at a rate of 3 goals a minute, the Dockers got out to a handy lead in the first quarter but couldn't keep up the pace in the second half, and with Matthew Carr lying unconscious on the change room floor, ran out of legs.

For thousands of years it’s been it’s been an enigma to those who’ve inhabited it and even in modern times it’s thrown up more questions that it has answers? Did Lindy kill her baby?
