Dockers are hopeless outside WA, that's why they won't win a Premiership for at least the next 5 years. For a team outside of VIC to win the Premiership they need to finish top 2 to get home advantage for the finals. You can't do that if you lose too many away from home.
Lost to StK, Gee & Mel in Melbourne so far this year 1-3 on away games. Only beaten Rich away in Adelaide. Look at the rest of their away games, who are they capable of beating Swans at SCG? Bulldogs at Marvel? Suns at People? Giants at ENGIE? Freo will lucky to win 2-3 away games all year.
