Fremantle follows up their win over first-placed Melbourne with an equally impressive win over second-placed Brisbane.

The Dockers outscored the Lions by 34 points from stoppages, well above their season average of -3 points per game from this source - led by 19 clearances between Andrew Brayshaw and Will Brodie.
