Fyfe's form was tracking well with seven possessions to the first break.Michael Walters and Freo's pressure are up and about early! #ohwhatafeeling #AFLEaglesFreo https://t.co/7Iwc81Bc5OAFLIf the pulled-pork roll and chips doesn't give me a heart attack, Garrick Ibbotson will. #AFLEaglesFreo ⚓️ https://t.co/NvNbGkrxW0Jane CattermoleQT: @freodockers 3.3 (21) lead @WestCoastEagles 2.1 (13). The stars are out early for Freo! #AFLEaglesFreo https://t.co/pubbwZuRPOAFLIt was a good old stalemate in the second quarter as the game went over 20 minutes without a goal before Mackenzie broke the scoring drought for the Eagles. Fremantle would soon find themselves down a man with Sandilands sent to hospital following a hard knock to his ribs from Naitanui in a marking contest.Nic-Nat! #AFLEaglesFreo https://t.co/aWgdiPD6xAAFLReally hope Sandilands is okay. You never want to see someone leave a game like that #AFLEaglesFreoMichael RamseyGeez, Sandilands looks to be in a lot of pain. Heading to the hospital now, got an oxygen mask on #AFLEaglesFreoBen SmithSandilands heavy hit to chest - off to hospital - will check lung / ribsOxygen for suspected lung collapseDr Peter LarkinsJust turned the footy on and it seems the flying lampshade has done a number on Sandilands' ribs/lungs/mortality #AFLEaglesFreoBlake CurrallThere was only six points in it at half-time after Fremantle finished goalless in the second term.Rain would perhaps be a welcome sight for the Dockers who would now be up against it with their key big-man out of the game.HT: @WestCoastEagles 4.7 (31) lead @freodockers 3.7 (25). An old-fashioned arm wrestle in the West! #AFLEaglesFreo https://t.co/7AeKfd24KxAFLIt’s been a high pressure, low scoring game and that could continue as the rain starts to come down at half time #AFLEaglesFreo #foreverfreoFremantle DockersFresh off kicking his seventh career goal, Eric Mackenzie and the backs talk in the rooms. #AFLEaglesFreo https://t.co/mCU8bFdiXsWest Coast EaglesThe Eagles broke away in the third with goals to Cripps, Jetta and Hill. The Dockers could only manage one goal through Langdon as life without Sandi was proving to be a challenge. Latest @BOM_WA forecast - it's officially Matt Priddis weather.He's got 21 touches and five tackles #AFLEaglesFreo #Priddis200West Coast EaglesGood old fashioned derby.
