Fremantle Oval carried some extra noise on the outer wings at Freo’s training session on Monday.

A small contingent of Freo fans could not contain their excitement every time the ball came sailing inside 50 and Michael Apeness was on the receiving end.

Three times during the session the tall forward had his teammates and onlookers pumped after taking strong pack marks from three deep.

Connor Blakely seems to be transitioning well into game-style play, receiving a lot of the ball through the middle of the ground.

Stephen Hill continues to run even harder this pre-season, we didn’t think that was possible.

Michael Johnson was covering the ground well in his second week of full training after recovering from back surgery.

WA umpire Dean Margetts was also on hand officiating any match-style drills.

Young forward Matt Taberner said the session was one of the longest of Freo’s pre-season thus far.
