The Fremantle Dockers have taken a handy six-point lead into half-time in the second qualifying final against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium this afternoon.
In only their second final Fremantle started the match in ideal fashion with the first three majors of the term through Ryan Crowley, Jeff Farmer and Matthew Pavlich.
The Dockers were getting plenty of run off half-back through Michael Johnson and when midfielder Heath Black slotted one through from outside 50 the margin was out to four goals.
The Crows steadied the shift in the latter stages of the first term and had their first major on the board courtesy of big man Rhett Biglands as Fremantle took a 17-point lead into the first change.
Adelaide had the first of the term when ruckman Matthew Clarke converted a free-kick from 40 metres out to cut the margin to less than two goals.
The Crows were dominating the clearances and getting plenty of run from Graham Johncock who has 17 possessions to half-time.
Despite their dominance Adelaide wasted several gettable opportunities in front of goal and a late goal to Jeff Farmer saw Fremantle take a six-point into the main break
Adelaide 3.8.26
Fremantle 5.2.32
