A number of Fremantle players put their hands up for AFL selection when Peel Thunder defeated East Fremantle by 86 points at Rushton Park on Saturday.
Here are some of the players who could be in line for selection to take on Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.
Matt Taberner
Kicked five goals on Saturday while taking seven marks and laying five tackles. The versatile key forward also spent a brief period in the ruck with five hit-outs. Senior coach Ross Lyon, who was at Rushton Park for the game, said he would be putting the performance “in context” instead of focusing on the pure statistics.
Harley Balic
Backed up his 30-disposal performance in round one with 33 touches against the Sharks. Lyon has been upbeat in his assessment of the second-year player's performance so far in 2017, saying Balic has been “super” over Peel’s opening two rounds.
Hayden Crozier
Played a different role in round two, moving from the midfield to half-forward and kicking two goals, remaining a small forward option to replace the injured Hayden Ballantyne.
Sam Collins
Remains a solid key defender option for Fremantle after playing 12 senior games in 2016. Took seven marks and limited East Fremantle’s Matthew Watson to one goal after keeping East Perth’s AFL listed forwards goalless in round one.
