The result ensures the Dockers now hold the record as the highest placed team after Round 20 to miss finals altogether, with Sunday’s loss leaving players devastated, Docker Heath Chapman admitted.“Obviously pretty flat. It’s going to burn.“We’ve still got a lot of work to do as a team, as a club.Justin Longmuir sympathetic to fans | 14:36
The Dockers limped to the finish line with four straight losses - and ensured they ended 2024 with just one win from eight games decided by 13 points or less.“Just couldn’t get it done when it mattered most. “You can’t fault our effort – we played three top four sides … a bit of me thinks we should have won all of them but we didn’t because we couldn’t execute well enough.“90 per cent of our game is in really good order, but the 10 per cent whether it’s discipline, whether it’s game scenarios and understanding what the game needs in that moment, we didn’t get right in those games.
“I think they are a really talented team – just shows how tough this comp is. That team shouldn’t be not playing finals,” he said.Longmuir said there was “no magic wand” to solve Freo’s issues heading into 2025, but he was adamant the drive was there.
