FREMANTLE skipper Matthew Pavlich was placed on report as the Dockers unleashed an eight-goal final term to beat West Coast by 28 points in Sunday's AFL western derby.
The Eagles led by two points at the final change, but were blown off the park from that point on as Fremantle secured the 19.7 (121) to 14.9 (93) victory in front of 39,839 fans.

Although Pavlich tried to pull out of the bump, it may not be enough to save him from suspension.

West Coast veteran Andrew Embley will also come under scrutiny for his crunching bump on Clancee Pearce, who was heavily concussed by the hit and had to be subbed out of the game.

The loss left West Coast (7-8) a game adrift of eighth spot, while Fremantle remain just percentage behind the fourth-placed Swans, who smashed GWS earlier in the day.
Fremantle midfielder Michael Barlow (26 disposals, two goals) won the Ross Glendinning medal as best afield, while Garrick Ibbotson, David Mundy, Stephen Hill, Michael Walters (three goals) and Chris Mayne (three goals) were also crucial cogs on the day.
West Coast forward Jack Darling booted five goals in the losing cause.
The Eagles entered the match missing a host of their best players, with midfield stars Daniel Kerr, Luke Shuey and Sharrod Wellingham amongst the absentees.
Fremantle suffered a late blow when Nick Suban was ruled out with a calf injury, but their main concern was the absence of All-Australian defender Luke McPharlin.
The Dockers led by 18 points at the seven-minute mark of the second quarter when Pavlich kicked truly from 50m out.
But West Coast's frenetic tackling and unrelenting pressure soon turned the tide, with fringe midfielder Mark Hutchings and Darling both starring as the Eagles took a one-point lead into the long break.
West Coast led the tackle count 60-37 at that point, and had 27 inside-50s to Fremantle's 19.
Dockers coach Ross Lyon gave his players a serve at the main break after a spirited challenge from the Eagles.
"It was about some specifics - just getting the match-ups we wanted,'' Lyon said of his stern half-time message.
"We went away from a few of the things we pre-planned and had done quite well.
"We just said `let's get back on the horse' ... when the game was up for grabs, winning the ball around the clearances and our ball use was really slick.
"It was a weight-of-numbers performance - that's how we operate here.''
The game looked set to go down to the wire after the third quarter turned into a see-sawing arm wrestle.
But Fremantle were too good when it mattered most, with Nat Fyfe tallying 10 possessions and booting a goal in a final quarter dominated by the Dockers.
Eagles coach John Worsfold praised the effort his charges displayed against Fremantle, especially in the first half.
But he conceded his injury-hit squad simply couldn't keep pace with the battle-hardened Dockers.
"We were running on empty a bit late in the game,'' Worsfold said.
"We had to play pretty hard early to give ourselves a chance.
"Fremantle are up and going and have a good team out there, so we just had to go as hard and as flat out as we could, and hold on for as long as we could.
"That took its toll on the group.''
