AFLW plays of the round
Jen McCormick snaps a ripper as Adelaide see off the Doggies, Mo Hope kicks her first but the Dees take the points, the Blues yet to be beaten and Tayla Harris will be a superstar.
Tayla Harris capped off an outstanding game for the Lions, kicking the only goal of the final term after taking her seventh contested mark to seal the 5.6 (36) to 3.5 (23) result.
The Dockers had built up a 10-point lead in the second term, but were unable to add to their score, and ended up trailing by two-points at half-time.
Reigning Commonwealth Games javelin champion Kim Mickle set an aggressive tone for Fremantle early, with two big tackles inside her own forward line that resulted in shots on goal. Unfortunately, the reward for Mickle's effort was just one behind. Docker miseries were compounded after Mickle injured her knee, and was ruled out for the remainder of the game after half time.
Brianna Green (shoulder) and Tayla Bresland (ankle) also played no part after the main break.
Frederick-Traub set up the first goal of the game, when her long bomb from 45m was marked in the forward pocked by Jessica Wuetschner, who made no mistake in kicking the first of her two goals.
But some ill-discipline cost the Lions and allowed the home side to gain some momentum.
Gabby O'Sullivan was rewarded a 50m penalty after Brisbane's Sharni Webb took exception to be caught holding the ball and pushed her tackler to the ground. The resultant goal took the margin to just one point at quarter- time.
Bresland then put Fremantle in front seven minutes into the second term after receiving another 50m penalty for a Brisbane infringement.
Fremantle went in to the final term just nine points behind and had good possession, but kicked just 0.3 for the quarter.
