Fremantle Dockers rocket back to the top of the AFLW Ladder after a 32-point win over the GWS Giants at Whitten Oval. Mayo legend Cora Staunton got the Giants up and running early with two goals in the opening quarter and they led by three points after the first quarter.

But a dominant second quarter from the Dockers scoring 4.4 (28 points) to the Giants no score gave the Perth-based side a 25-point lead at half-time, and never looked back from there through to the final siren.
