ANALYSIS: Can winless Fremantle Dockers find their mojo and down the Eagles to open their account?
That was Justin Longmuir's frank assessment of his side after it slumped to consecutive losses to start the 2023 AFL season.
Since 2012, when the league became an 18-team competition, only two of 28 sides have recovered from a 0-3 start to make the finals – they were Sydney and GWS, in 2017 and 2021 respectively.For a side already grappling with a sub-par start, three losses to open the season would add enormous pressure to the playing group and sharpen scrutiny on Longmuir.The contrast is that winning puts them at 1-2, which provides a far more promising outlook on the season and would instil some belief in the side.
