Overview

• Fremantle erased a 22-point fourth-quarter deficit to win 12.7 (79) to 11.12 (78), securing their first victory over Collingwood at the MCG since 2019.
• Patrick Voss kicked a career-best six goals to spearhead the Dockers’ late charge and cement his emergence as a match-winner.
• Josh Treacy’s intercept mark in the dying seconds, followed by a 50m penalty on Darcy Moore for contact, preserved Fremantle’s slender lead.
• The result lifts Fremantle to seventh on the AFL ladder, two wins clear of ninth and only percentage outside the top four, and marks Collingwood’s second straight defeat, cutting the Magpies’ lead at the top to two points.
• Contentious umpiring decisions—including a high-contact free kick to Shai Bolton and Moore’s late penalty—have intensified scrutiny on officiating standards.
