The Dockers are flying high atop the table with a win over Western Bulldogs while the Eagles slumped to a new low at the MCG.

Here’s how Danielle Laidley rated every players’ efforts.

FREMANTLE

1. Josh Treacy: 10

It wasn’t just the 3.2 he kicked for the game in his role as a key forward, it was his work rate and spirit. He competed long down the line, bringing the ball to ground and took a big intercept mark on the wing. It was also his chase and pressure early, crashing bodies. His leading and forward craft was elite.

2. Oscar McDonald: 10

He’s been in terrific form, but this one was out of the box. Showed great strength to intercept one-on-one, had eight intercepts, 22 touches, 12 marks in defence along with nearly 500 metres gained.

3. Karl Worner: 10

Was strong in the contest both in the air and at ground level, winning a game-high intercept possessions by reading the play well. Offensively he was outstanding, with 13 marks in the slow build-up as Fremantle worked hard to gain territory, but there were also chains of multiple possessions leading to his eight score involvements from defence. Also had 28 disposals for over 604 metres gained.

4. Luke Jackson: 9

Was important and strong in all areas of the game. His strong marking game inside 50 led to two goals. He was strong in the ruck with 26 hit outs and five clearances and instrumental in the long-down-the-line phase of the game, where the Dockers won many of these contests.

5. Caleb Serong: 9

He was huge at the coalface contest all game, winning seven clearances and five tackles, leading to 17 touches. Hurt the opposition with two goals to put his stamp on the game.

6. Hayden Young: 9

Has his game been a touch underestimated? Had his 18 possessions, had 70 per cent game and he also spent most of the night on Marcus Bontempelli. He had 20 disposals and just two clearances in what must be close to his lowest-rated game of the year.

7. Sam Switkowski: 8

Was a little quiet early, but is just so important in his role and getting into chains of possessions with his forward patterns in offence and with his defensive transition to tackle and turnover in defensive mode. He had five inside 50s, eight score involvements and two goal assists.

8. Neil Erasmus: 7

Had 17 touches on the wing, with over 400 metres gained. Becoming very consistent across four quarters. Really changing the angles and widening his vision with the ball, which helped him finish with six score involvements and a goal assist.

9. Andrew Brayshaw: 7

Just two touches in the first quarter. Then he worked hard to get to contests, winning crumbs and worked his way into game. He finished with 23 touches, but hasn’t been as punishing with the ball as he normally is across the past month.

10. Michael Frederick: 7

Played his role on a wing with 18 touches and three score involvements. The highlights were his crumbing in the long-down-the-line contested situations, his big chase and tackle and six tackles in total for the game.

11. Luke Ryan: 7

Spoiling in one-on-one situations or as the third defender up was a highlight. Had just four intercepts for the night, but was very solid without the ball all night. Was not as involved as some other defenders in the kick-mark game from defence.

12. Jordan Clark: 7

Big efforts deep in defence to save goals were a highlight. He did run and carry to penetrate inside 50, with 480 metres gained. Had five score involvements, but was a little inconsistent with his execution.

13. Murphy Reid: 7

Had players sitting in his back pocket at stoppages and buffeting him in transition. Kept working hard to still get multiple possessions in chains, which he turned into six inside 50s for the game. With four score involvements and a goal assist, he was a little down on output, but it’s all a massive learning curve.

14. Matthew Johnson: 7

He had 18 touches and a goal and worked hard in the contest, but his spread to take eight marks in chains of possession were important. It also included four inside 50s, showing a high work rate across the game.

15. Isaiah Dudley: 7

Keeps getting to the right positions in his role, then using the ball well with strong decision-making to punish the opposition. It could be a crumb, a switch kick or lowering his eyes to hit target, he has many strings to his bow.

16. Nathan O’Driscoll: 7

His time on ground in the first quarter was 56 per cent, for just 2 touches, but he got going in the second quarter with a smart switch kick inside 50 leading to a goal assist. Had 16 disposals working both ends of ground and made a goal-saving turnover ending in a Fremantle goal.

17. Shai Bolton: 6

Not at his usual standard. We saw fleeting moments of speed out of the contest across his 17 touches and just one clearance. Showed his class late with a snap goal.

18. Heath Chapman: 6

Came forward to defend, won contested possessions at ground level. Also took some strong contested intercepting marks. Was involved in his team’s kick-mark game but was not penetrating, finishing with a negative metres gained tally.

19. Alex Pearce: 6

Played further up the ground early and was heavily involved in intercepting and was proactive to find the ball five times in the first term. He was solid, but had less of an influence as the game progressed.

20. Patrick Voss: 5

Just eight touches for the game, but the highlight was his tackling and pressure early. He got his reward later in the game when he booted a goal.

21. Judd McVee: 5

He had just two touches and 44 per cent time on ground in the first quarter, then played the majority of the rest of the game, with strong spoiling, intercepting and running to receive in a solid performance.

22. Mason Cox: 4

Played just 44 per cent time on ground in the first quarter for three hit outs. Played more time as the game progressed, finishing with 15 hit outs. Marking was a little below par.

23. Jye Amiss: 3

Found it difficult to get on the end of kicks inside 50. Did work further up the ground to compete, but kicked just the one point for the game.

WEST COAST

1. Harley Reid: 9

Incredible performance, based purely on focus and execution of his role. Of his 34 touches, 20 were contested possessions. He’s always looking for ways to stay in, and impact, the game. Kicked three points and had a goal assist.

2. Marcus Herbert: 9

Was super competitive, won many ground balls in the contest and intercepts in defence, culminating in 34 disposals for the game. Was one player who kept trying to take the game on with four inside 50s and five score involvements.

3. Tim Kelly: 7

Built his game with consistency and linked play over four quarters. He had 25 touches, along with six tackles and four clearances. Could have been more punishing with just five score involvements.

4. Elliot Yeo: 7

Had 10 touches, zero clearances and a few tackles in the first half without real influence. It was then the old Yeo, from then on. He really dug in after the break and played with a renewed confidence, finishing with 22 touches, 10 tackles, five clearances, four inside 50s and seven score involvements. That’s the standard.

5. Jack Graham: 7

Was quiet early with just the two touches as a midfielder in the first term. Got to work winning the ball and making some big tackles around the contest from there though. There was a few blast kicks where he could have used his hands to exit the contest instead. Worked hard all game with 18 touches, 11 tackle and five clearances, including three at centre throw ups. Five score involvements and five intercepts show he was working on both sides of the ball.

6. Bailey Williams: 7

Had a very good battle with Toby Nankervis, but may have just had his colours lowered. He won the hit outs but Nankervis had more clearances. His marking was off, getting his hands to the ball but not holding them.

7. Jake Waterman: 7

Glass half-full: 16 touches and eight marks. Glass half-empty: kicked 2.8 for the game. He’s been costly in 2026.

8. Jobe Shanahan: 7

He’s impressing by working around the ground and inside forward 50. Took seven marks including two strong contested grabs. Four score involvements and two tackles inside 50 was a strong return.

9. Milan Murdock: 7

Was busy across four quarters, gaining 12 touches which led to six score involvements from important chains. Missed a prime opportunity to goal from a free kick in front of goal. Worked hard in defensive transition with six strong tackles around the ball.

10. Brady Hough: 7

Spent a lot of time looking after the dangerous Seth Campbell and did a good job. Was quiet offensively with just four touches in the first half but became more proactive in the second half, getting involved in many chains of possessions.

11. Tom McCarthy: 6

He had over 600 metres gained, mostly from point kick-ins. Still tried to run and rebound from defence but at times it didn’t go as planned and he didn’t punish the opposition in his usual way.

12. Jack Williams: 6

Played as a key forward. Made the most of his opportunities, with a lead mark and goal, then a smart snap goal. Also added four score involvements in a solid performance.

13. Cooper Duff-Tytler: 6

Did some very good things in a strong development game. Led and marked well as a forward and also supported defence and competed as the second ruck with solid follow-up. He had nine touches, resulting in four score involvements and three intercept possessions. Could have used the ball a little better at times.

14. Liam Duggan: 6

Played a mix of wing and defence, gaining 12 touches. He showed courage and strength in many contests. His disposal efficiency is up and down, but he finished with an important snap goal late in the game.

15. Brandon Starcevich: 6

Showed strength and fight under pressure, winning or halving important contests, including five tackles in defence. At times his kicking was inconsistent when changing angles.

16. Tom Cole: 6

Just eight touches as a forward, but he was very efficient. Penetrated with three inside 50s, a goal, a goal assist and three score involvements.

17. Ryan Maric: 6

Had 15 touches on a wing, where he was solid in a wing stoppage role, but did miss a big opportunity in the contest pushing forward to get a chance to hit the scoreboard. Ball use was up and down at times.

18. Harvey Johnston: 4

Good start in first quarter, with four touches and three score involvements. Then it was only two more touches for the game, one for a smart goal in the last quarter to keep West Coast in the game. More consistency is the key.

19. Willem Duursma: 4

It wasn’t his 11 touches and goal assist, which was below his output, it was unusual mistakes. There was a late push in the back leading to a goal against, then a dropped mark and free kick against, resulting in another goal. Not his best game.

20. Bo Allan: 4

Squared the ball up inside 50 for a smart goal assist early in the game from one of his four touches in the first term. From then on it was just too inconsistent, with zero touches in the second quarter to finish with just nine disposals for the game. In that wing role he needs to do much more.

21. Tylar Young: 4

Made several spoils across the game, but couldn’t intercept to start rebounding defensive 50. Offensively, he was able to penetrate the game with just seven touches for the game.

22. Rhett Bazzo: 2

This was a very bad day at the office. Not just the Tom Lynch shots on goal, but poor attempts to smother in the goal square. He was disconnected out of passages of play at important times and was poor in one-on-one contests and showing undisciplined dissent.

23. Sandy Brock: 1

Didn’t look like he was comfortable or believed he should be out there. Struggled in one-on-one contests and had just eight for the game.
