Two teams representing the port towns of Perth and Adelaide met in Round 7 with much on the line.

The Dockers believe they are finalists this year and would be expected to flex some muscle against their struggling opponents, if only to show the competition that they are genuine contenders.

He said he would take responsibility for his actions but did not testify.  read more »
