Welcome to the Western Watercooler, where we digest the talking points from the weekend’s games – and the highlights, frustrations and silver linings WA footy fans can cling to as the season progresses.

The Dockers bullied two-time defending premiers Brisbane to solidify themselves as premiership favourites.

They couldn’t have been more impressive on their way to an 11th straight win, making the Lions look second rate.

Meanwhile, the Eagles capitalised on what’s been a strong month of football, securing their second win in that period with a comprehensive five-goal victory over the Bombers.

West Coast were far superior in the wet and wild conditions, blowing away Essendon with minimal fuss.

What went right? The Dockers showed their attack can get you many ways, possessing a forward line with multiple threats and are currently the ball tall three-pronged trio in the game.

Jye........
