Fremantle fell by nine points to St Kilda at Domain Stadium on Sunday. 

Here are some of the key moments and stats from the contest.

Walters’ effort one for the ages
A six-goal and 32 disposal effort left many in the media calling Walters' game one of the best individual performance in the AFL this season.
According to champion data, Walters 32.9 rankings points places him sixth for individual performances this season – behind some of the game's biggest names in Gary Ablett jnr, Scott Pendlebury, Eddie Betts and Dustin Martin.

The best individual performances so far in 2017
36.9 Gary Ablett Jnr – Round 6 Gold Coast v North Melbourne
36.3 Scott Pendlebury – Round 1 Collingwood v Bulldogs
34.0 Eddie Betts - Round 4 Adelaide v Essendon
33.8 Dustin Martin - Round 1 Richmond v Carlton
33.6 Dustin Martin - Round 11 Richmond v North Melbourne
32.9 Michael Walters – Round 15 Fremantle v St Kilda 

The “costly” 23 points
On turnovers, the matchup was even with Fremantle conceding 53 points to St Kilda’s 52.
In summarising the loss, senior coach Ross Lyon highlighted his concern in the location of Fremantle’s turnovers, conceding 3.5(23) from turnovers in their defensive 50.
On average in round 15, 9 points was conceded from turnovers in a team’s defensive 50, with Gold Coast the only side to concede more than Fremantle with 25 points.
“We invited them in,” Lyon said.
“They kicked 3.5 from our turnovers in their forward 50 or our D 50. That's a huge number.
“Everything else was the benchmark really of defending. That was a real issue - 23 points was costly.”

Super Suban
In the AFL Coaches Association voting, Nick Suban was the only Freo player apart from Walters to earn votes from senior coaches Lyon and Alan Richardson.
Suban played a shut down role on midfielder Jack Steven, who collected 17 disposals - well below his 2017 average of 26.2.
Meanwhile Suban racked up 27 touches of his own, a career high from his 148 game career.

Fyfe goes forward
After Fremantle marked just 10 per cent of forward entries in round 14, senior coach Ross Lyon sent Nat Fyfe to full forward to start the game. While staying off the scoreboard, Fyfe proved his aerial ability with three contested marks, while Freo’s smalls in Walters and Ballantyne (two goals) impacted the scoreboard.
For the game, Fremantle marked 16.3 per cent of inside 50 entries, while St Kilda led the round, marking 22.3 per cent of forward entries. 

Hughes a career best
Fremantle can take heart with another strong performance from within their developing core of younger players.
22-year-old Ethan Hughes racked up 30 disposals at half-back, eclipsing his previous career best of 22 on debut against Port Adelaide in 2015.
Hughes also put up career best numbers in marks, with an impressive 14, and contested possessions with 10.

Darcy goes it alone
A season-ending injury to Aaron Sandilands leaves Sean Darcy as Fremantle’s go-to ruckman after the first year player put up another strong performance.
Darcy’s 33 hitouts goes with his impressive 40 on debut, and the 19-year-old showed his ability to impact key moments.
In the opening term, Darcy hit the ball over 10m to an unmanned Lachie Neale, who ran through and snapped a goal. In the second term Darcy kicked a goal of his own, throwing the ball on his boot from 40m for his first career major.

Lessons learnt early
While Fremantle’s young Dockers showed promise, there were some crucial moments where inexperience proved costly.
A reversed free kick and 50m penalty by Brady Grey cost Ballantyne a certain goal in the opening term. In the third term, Brennan Cox was run down while facing an open goal. In the final term, Nick Riewoldt called for the ball to coax a 50m penalty out of Griffin Logue.
The trio has played 11, six and three games respectively and these simple mistakes should be rectified with more experience.
In the post-match media conference, Lyon highlighted this importance.
“They were all in our control,” Lyon said.
“Give the ball back properly to the right person, and don't give away an undisciplined 50m penalty when Hayden Ballantyne is going to have a shot from a metre out.”
“You make your own luck in this business.”
