SOUTH Fremantle had a strong win over East Perth prior to the bye but couldn’t replicate that on Saturday at Fremantle Oval losing to Peel by 44 points and recording its lowest ever score against the Thunder in the process.
Having won the first three games and losing the next three to start the season, South Fremantle scored a hard fought 13-point win over East Perth in Round 7 prior to the bye, and the Bulldogs couldn’t back that performance up against Peel at Fremantle Oval on Saturday.
The Bulldogs played with terrific intensity and had a strong attack on the contest, and put East Perth under great pressure two weeks ago, but those traits rarely surfaced on Saturday in the wet, cold and windy conditions.
In the end, Peel dominated the second quarter with the only three goals, and then kicked the last four goals of the match to end up winning 12.13 (85) to 5.11 (41).
