Fremantle broke a club record for consecutive away wins with its closely fought 13-point win over the Bulldogs on Sunday.

It was a fifth straight away win for the side during the regular season, after a streak of wins dating back to a win over Brisbane in Round 22 last year.

However, the historic milestone means little to the side, according to midfielder Michael Barlow.

“(Previously) we’d recognise that achievement but it’s becoming our second nature on away trips.

Barlow said there were more important goals this season.

“It’s water off a duck's back because we have bigger fish to fry and we want to keep moving forward,” he said.

The streak includes wins over Brisbane, Geelong, West Coast, Melbourne and the Bulldogs.
