Trial match report
Fremantle has lost its final match of the pre-season by 19 points
The Eagles made it three wins from as many starts in their first pre-season under new coach Adam Simpson, winning 13.8 (86) to 9.13 (67) in front of a healthy crowd.
Lachie Neale was again impressive for Freo gathering 27 touches, while David Mundy and Michael Barlow were polished through the middle.
It was a scrappy opening term in the 36 degree heat. Both sides attacked each other with greater intensity than what was shown in their NAB Challenge clash and clean possessions were at a premium.
The Eagles kicked clear in the second term with a five-goal-to-two quarter. Josh Kennedy slotted his fourth from a set shot on the half-time siren to extend the margin to 19 points.
It blew out to 30 points midway through the third term as Freo struggled to break through the Eagles press.
From there the sting went out of the game as the heat began to takes it toll. Matthew Pavlich spent the entire second half on the bench after being subbed out at half-time.
Star Fremantle midfielder Nat Fyfe missed his second straight game due to a corked leg, but is expected to return next week.
Despite the loss, Ross Lyon was relatively pleased with his side's effort.
"For a practice match, it was an intense game," Lyon said.
"Really high level intensity from both teams. I was really quite pleased.
"The concern at half-time was our sloppiness, some fumbles and dropped marks, and it allowed them to score off some turnovers."
