Scores were level at half-time as the Dockers struggled to break through the Bulldogs' flooding tactics. Longmuir was proud with how his players problem solved their way through the flood of numbers. "There were probably times in the first half where we were a bit spooked by their numbers back," Longmuir said. Fremantle's ability to score heavily in short bursts has become their biggest weapon this season, but the Bulldogs' flooding tactics were able to contain the ladder leaders for two-and-a-half quarters.
