AFL live updates: Fremantle Dockers hoping to dominate Gather Round Stage against Collingwood

We’ll have the rest of the wrap up and fallout on thewest.com.au but for now we say goodbye as the Dockers win another thriller.

Or meat tray in this scenario.

Billy Frampton had actually done a good job on Treacy across the first three quarters but he rose to the ocassion in the final term.

“It’s nice to just win, I feel like in past years we probably dropped those games and got a little bit shy around the footy,” he says.

“I think we let ourselves down around the footy with a work rate but we doubled our tackle count in the third quarter to get the game back on our terms.

“I hope Longmuir has a little bit of fun in his life tonight,” he jokes.

“If you look back over the last 18 months of footy, we have confidence playing in the wet.

“There’s no surprise in seeing JT down back; he practices harder than everyone to take marks like that.

“Pearce has been through hell and back in his body but he’s one of the best captains in the competition on and off the field.”

“We love a tough game at Adelaide Oval,” he says.

“That last quarter was just grinding but sometimes you’ve just got to kick straight and that will do.

“There the big games where you need to stand up in really high pressure and that’s what we prepared for in the off-season.

“I think we played better as the game got harder.”

The 45 points is the lowest winning score in Fremantle history.

Collingwood forced repeated stoppages inside 50 but the Dockers were sharking everything and Luke Jackson did not let Cameron have a clean hit.

For the second week in a row the Dockers have taken a thriller in Adelaide.

Luke Jackson was huge in the second half while Jye Amiss nailed perhaps the best goal of his career.

Dudley was awesome to find the moments to capitalise on.

Collingwood had 61 inside 50s to 45 but they just could not score.

Josh Treacy with a huge contested mark in defensive 50 and I don’t see how Collingwood can score here.

Dudley catches Elliott cold on 50 as Frampton misses a simple kick. Matthew Johnson swoops on the loose ball and on the run nails the goal.
