Once the contest got underway it was the Indigenous All Stars who got off to a flying start with Bobby Hill and Jason Horne-Francis slotting the opening two goals of the game.
The Dockers managed to bounce back but went into the first quarter break down 5.2 (32) to 2.3 (15).
The Dockers began to claw back the deficit in the second quarter, but the pressure and speed of the Indigenous All Stars was causing major problems.
After the margin had closed to six points, Kysaiah Pickett pounced and pushed the lead back out to two goals.
“It’s been about turnover, pressure and getting the ball inside 50 quickly,” Dockers legend Matthew Pavlich told Fox Footy.
“It’s been great entertainment, fast and furious and so many great highlights.”
At halftime it was 7.5 (47) to 5.5 (35) with Bobby Hill slotting two goals while Fremantle’s Caleb Serong leading the way with 17 disposals.
