Fremantle's quest for a maiden AFL premiership is gathering steam after they knocked over the Brisbane Lions by 25 points at the Gabba.
The Dockers extended a club-record winning streak to 11, their 15.13 (103) to 10.18 (78) victory on Saturday leaving them a game clear on top of the ladder after 12 rounds.
Their only loss was to perennial contenders Geelong by 10 points in round one.
But the Lions' tilt at a second flag "three-peat" is well and truly on the skids, after yet another third-quarter fade-out when they gave up six goals.
Many of their best players - Lachie Neale, Hugh McCluggage and Josh Dunkley - were subdued.
They were blown away when the dominant Dockers slammed on five goals in 10 minutes that left the home crowd stunned.
