Fremantle caught up with reality on Sunday afternoon, getting a bit of a touch up by an undermanned Richmond, tumbling down to the brink of the top 8 and setting up a must win match against the Bombers next week. Dockers supporters looked like they were in for a long afternoon when Richmond hammered out a 20 point lead in the opening minutes of the game, but Fremantle fought back, with courage and heart, to regain the lead...for a little while. It was all Richmond after half time, with the Tigers not quite belting Freo but doing enough to put the purple crew back in their box.
