The deliberate rushed behind rule was thrust into the spotlight as Fremantle notched their second straight western derby victory with a 55-point demolition of West Coast at Optus Stadium.
The Dockers overcame a dominant ruck performance from Nic Naitanui and a defensive masterclass from Jeremy McGovern to post the 15.12 (102) to 7.5 (47) on Sunday, keeping West Coast to their lowest ever derby total.
