FREMANTLE coach Justin Longmuir says he likes the edge that star forward Shai Bolton plays with after the brilliant goalkicker ruffled feathers in a powerful 41-point win against Essendon on Thursday night. Bolton was at the centre of some skirmishes in the second quarter, pointing to the scoreboard after Josh Treacy converted in the second quarter and then backing it up with a goal of his own.

Standing up in prime time and beating the teams it should was the challenge for Fremantle, and a powerful 41-point win against Essendon on Thursday night ticked both boxes at Optus Stadium as Fremantle continued their finals charge. Challenged briefly by a weakened Bombers side, Freo flexed their midfield muscle, won every quarter, and prevailed in a fifth consecutive game for the first time since 2022, winning 16.8 (104) to 9.9 (63).

THE SIGHT of Fremantle goalkicker Pat Voss celebrating still brings a smile to former VFL coach Leigh Tudor's face, watching as the former Essendon forward now showcases his strut and big personality on the AFL stage. Voss is enjoying a purple patch with the Dockers after six goals in his past two games, but his colourful on-field style is drawing just as much attention as he prepares to take on his former club on Thursday night.

WHEN the substitute was reintroduced for the 2021 season after a five-year hiatus, there was a suggestion from some coaches that it should be restricted to players aged under 21. For some clubs, that is still the most effective use most weeks. But for others, the substitute role has become one best filled by an experienced player who can provide guidance and a cool head on the bench before making an impact on-field late in the game.
