AFL:Record means nothing: Dockers keep eyes on bigger prize

A new club record and 10 wins in a row are nice, but the only thing that will make Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir truly happy in a footballing sense is an AFL flag.

The Dockers set a new milestone for consecutive wins on Friday night when they overcame a one-point deficit early in the final quarter to post a 30-point victory over St Kilda.

The 16.8 (104) to 11.8 (74) win means the current Fremantle squad surpassed the efforts of their 2015 and 2006 predecessors - both of whom managed nine wins in a row.

Fremantle have the chance to make it 11 straight wins when they take on two-time defending premiers Brisbane at the Gabba next week.

The Dockers are in rarefied air at the minute, but for Longmuir it's all about the bigger picture - flag success.
