The Herald Sun has reminded football lovers of the advantage Fremantle enjoys over the competition at the stoppages.
In Aaron Sandilands and Nat Fyfe, Ross Lyon had the best ruck-rover combination in the league at his disposal in 2014.
The All Australian pair linked up at centre-square bounces or stoppages around the ground on 62 occasions last year.
That’s 10 more than Adelaide’s Sam Jacobs and Patrick Dangerfield in second place.
Incredibly, Sandilands and David Mundy came in equal third with 50 link-ups.
The Herald Sun notes that this unsurprisingly equated to Freo being the best clearance-differential side in the league, averaging 2.9 more per game than its opponents.
