For the Saints, they couldn\u2019t find any easy passages inside 50, with Walyalup forwards working well to punish the Saints defensive 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walyalup continued to capitalise and make the most of their opportunities, dominating territory. Whilst <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"29824\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/hayley-miller\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hayley Miller<\/a> kicked the team&#8217;s only goal, her work rate opened up for the rest of the team, working the ball forward and not allowing the Saints to get any easy contested possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the third quarter, wet weather footy came into play but the Dockers continued their quick ball movement and taking most of their opportunities with  uncontested marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dockers continued to lift their work rate in the last quarter in the defensive end to seal the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dockers dominated inside 50 (44-18) and disposal efficiency (66 per cent) to 54 per cent. The Saints were efficient rebound 50s (38-14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fremantle coach <strong><em>Lisa Webb<\/em><\/strong> discussed her side&#8217;s ball movement, tackling pressure on the sides victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s some things we\u2019ve been working on for all season,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It hadn\u2019t quite pulled off but I feel we took an important step towards that, but we\u2019ve got two games to go, one away and one at home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Webb also spoke about her side&#8217;s forward half performance and the players that stepped up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe got our method stronger around the ball,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Kiara has a strong impact in there, but I thought it was the other players, Easty, she\u2019s a fantastic player and person. She worked really hard on her craft and she got some rewards today.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dc-block-dc-mention _dc_mention\"><div class=\"section-heading_wrap\"><span class=\"section-heading is-small\">Mentions<\/span><span class=\"hor-border\"><\/span><\/div><ul class=\"js-overflow-list overflow-list\"><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/gabby-osullivan\/\">Gabby O&#8217;Sullivan<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/angela-stannett\/\">Angela Stannett<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/hayley-miller\/\">Hayley Miller<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"js-dropdown dropdown overflowed\"><button class=\"btn btn-icon-only\"><span class=\"icon btn-icon\">\n                    <!-- icon - plus circle - 20px-->\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n                        <path d=\"M15,9.28h-4.3V5h0A.72.72,0,1,0,9.28,5h0V9.28H5a.72.72,0,0,0,0,1.43H9.28V15a.72.72,0,0,0,1.43,0h0V10.71H15a.72.72,0,0,0,0-1.43Z\"\/>\n                        <path d=\"M10,0A10,10,0,1,0,20,10,10,10,0,0,0,10,0Zm0,18.57A8.57,8.57,0,0,1,10,1.43h0a8.57,8.57,0,0,1,0,17.14Z\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/span><\/button><div class=\"popover\"><div class=\"popover-content\"><ul class=\"popover-menu\"><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With both teams having plenty to play for and keeping their finals hopes alive, Walyalup ended its two match losing streak, defeating the Saints by 24 points at Fremantle Oval.
