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.

Meanwhile, the Dockers flexed their muscle in a third-quarter blitz, breaking free of a Tigers arm-wrestle to cruise to victory.

What went right? Consecutive wins.
