Overview

  • Michael Christian assessed the Marvel Stadium incident and issued no case to answer, with no charges laid from the match.
  • Serong's shoulder made high contact with Croft during a loose-ball contest, and the Bulldogs forward got up to take his kick and finished the game.
  • The decision confirms Serong's availability for Fremantle's elimination final in a fortnight.
  • Justin Longmuir said Serong raised the bump with him post-game, while Luke Hodge and Kane Cornes had publicly tipped a clearance.
  • Fremantle also reported Corey Wagner faces a few weeks out with a torn pectoral, with Sam Switkowski expected to be available and Nat Fyfe building for a larger role.
