Overview
- Fremantle beat the Sydney Swans 15.21 (111) to 10.13 (73) after trailing at half-time to improve to 15-2 and open a two‑game lead on the ladder.
- The Dockers were scoreless at the main break with 0.11 and then kicked nine goals in the final quarter to overturn the contest.
- Josh Treacy kicked four goals and Murphy Reid gathered 28 disposals to spearhead Fremantle’s recovery while Charlie Curnow booted five goals for Sydney.
- Fremantle’s pre-match decision to manage ruck Sean Darcy and recall Mason Cox produced a strong showing from Cox and has left the club facing a ruck selection dilemma for next week.
- Umpires paid two free kicks for head‑rubbing under the AFL’s anti‑taunting directive after incidents involving Luke Ryan and Dane Rampe, an enforcement that directly affected scoring moments during the game.
