Despite a solid start, the Dockers fell away in the second term as the Bulldogs piled on the goals to end up winning 16.17.113 to 9.12.66 at Marvel Stadium.

Andy Brayshaw was one of the Dockers best with 26 disposals and 3 goals while skipper Nat Fyfe worked tirelessly for his side on his way to 33 possessions.

In an ordinary afternoon for the team, Darcy Tucker was the only other multiple goal scorer for the visitors.

The loss makes it even tougher for the Dockers to sneak into the top 8 this year.
