Overview
- Fremantle, which on Thursday overturned a 19-point final-term deficit, beat Hawthorn 12.16 (88) to 11.7 (73) at Optus Stadium.
- A five-goal burst sealed the comeback as Josh Treacy sparked the run, Michael Frederick struck twice, Jye Amiss snapped the go-ahead major, and Hayden Young iced it.
- Caleb Serong drove the midfield with 28 disposals and eight clearances, while ruck Luke Jackson added 22 touches, seven clearances, and a crucial smother that set up a goal.
- Jack Gunston kicked six for Hawthorn, including a career-first five-goal first half, before Fremantle’s defense, led by Brennan Cox, blunted his impact late.
- Hawthorn lost key back Tom Barrass to a hamstring injury, and Fremantle’s 8-1 start now sets up a chance to match a club-record streak against Essendon at the MCG next week.
