Fremantle has just produced the best football quarter of any team this year.
The Dockers conceded eight goals to one to do what no team has been able to do this year: leave Melbourne shocked and unanswered (at the MCG, no more and no less).
The visitors increased the pressure, dominated the disputed marks, attacked Melbourne at the stops and the first rulers could not cope.
This is the biggest challenge the Demons have faced since the grand final last year, when they fell below 19 points in the middle of the third legislature.
Fremantle is shattering the Demons in the 90-51 marks and the 15-4 disputed marks, and they also lead the 284-274 eliminations, the 109-104 disputed possessions, the 42-36 tackles, the 31-25 dispatches, the 50s 43 -40. , hits 29-21 and scoring shots 19-17.
This game is far from over, but Melbourne will need a strong response to win (which they are absolutely capable of).
