After trailing at every change, Fremantle stormed home to claim a 27-point victory against an increasingly demoralised Carlton.
The Dockers denied a Blues boilover with a huge fightback win in the West. The four points pushes them up to fourth position and could be very important in where they finish in the top eight come finals.
It was the Freo forward line who really came alive in the second half. Josh Treacy, Jye Amiss and Patrick Voss all finished with three goals. Luke Jackson, meanwhile, was prolific.
It was a victory soured by star midfielder Hayden Young set for another stint on the sidelines after injuring his groin.

Amiss kicks the sealer
 It feels fitting for Jye Amiss to kick the sealer with what was very much a team goal. Patrick Voss bounced the ball while running near the boundary, handballed to Amiss waiting in the goal square.
Fremantle out to 21 points, under a minute to go.

Voss time!
Oh, Fremantle look (almost) home now.
After marking the ball inside 50, Patrick Voss had plenty of time for pressure to build on the kick as play stopped for Adam Saad to leave the ground.
He took a few steadying breaths and then slotted home the major. Dockers out to a 15-point lead with just over three minutes to go.

Saad goes down
Adam Saad is being assessed by trainers on the ground after copping an accidental leg from Andy Brayshaw to the head.
He looks very out of sorts. He’ll need to come off.

Dudley puts it back out to 10 points

A free kick was given to Isaiah Dudley after being pushed in the back into a contest.
From about 50m out on the arc, he went back and slotted through the goal. A very important one for the Dockers, who now lead by 10-point with just over four minutes to go.
Plenty of time for some twists in this game…

Durdin keeps the Blues in touch
Corey Durdin received the short kick from Zac Williams inside 50.
Game continued for solid few seconds before an umpire outside the immediate zone called “play the mark”. The crowd were not happy, to put it lightly.
Durdin got the goal and drew the Dockers’ lead back to within a kick.
5h agoSun 3 Aug 2025 at 9:36am
Dudley gets another for the Dockers
Josh Treacy had a wonderful handball to put the ball in the path of Isaiah Dudley.
Dudley drilling the ball through the big sticks for the Dockers’ third goal this final term to give his side a 10-point lead.
Michael Voss, meanwhile, has had some words with Carlton captain Patrick Cripps on the bench. Let’s see if the Blues’ coach has some answers for the Fremantle late surge.
5h agoSun 3 Aug 2025 at 9:31am
Blues waste an important one
Marc Pittonet could have gone back for a set shot but decided to hand the ball off to Harry McKay, who made the run. McKay’s kick didn’t have the accuracy.
Michael Voss has left the coaches’ box to go down to the bench. Presumably to calm things down as frustration looks to have set in with the Blues. They are looking more and more lost out there.
5h agoSun 3 Aug 2025 at 9:28am
Treacy puts the Dockers in front
Fremantle have locked in here. Josh Treacy marked the ball just inside 50 and then went back to launch a huge kick.
The goal puts the Dockers in front for the first time today… Carlton are fighting hard but they are looking somewhat rattled by Fremantle’s fightback.
5h agoSun 3 Aug 2025 at 9:25am
Rushed behind makes it a one-point game
Things are tense in Perth! Blues hold just a one-point lead. The Dockers haven’t been in front yet today.
Pressure is right up.
5h agoSun 3 Aug 2025 at 9:24am
Dockers get the first of the fourth quarter!
Sam Switkowski positioned himself perfectly in the Dockers’ attacking arc for Bailey Banfield to find him.
Banfield collected the ball just outside the 50m arc from Shai Bolton and sliced it to Switkowski, who slotted through the goal.
Fremantle are driving the ball forward at all costs to start this final term, pressing hard up the ground.

The stage is set for an exciting final quarter in Perth. Carlton hold just an eight-point lead at the final change.
After trailing at every change, Fremantle have mounted a solid comeback to get within striking distance of a very, very important four points if they want to play finals.
A lot of that fight has come from improved pressure and work rate around the ground. You can imagine some stern words from coach Justin Longmuir were said at half-time around intent.
The Dockers kicked four goals to one in the third term, two of those coming off the boot of Jye Amiss, to win the quarter comfortably.
Now, they need to keep it up in the final against the Blues, who are out of finals contention but desperately need a morale boost.

Blues get one back
Not what Dockers fans wanted to see. Harry McKay with an almost perfect set shot to give the Blues back some buffer room.
That’s Carlton’s first major this third quarter, while Fremantle have had three.

Reid gets a crafty goal!
That got the home crowd on their feet. The Dockers tackling pressure in their forward half won them the ball back.
Murphy Reid got the handball receive front and centre in front of goals and snapped the ball through.
After a quiet first half, the Rising Star contender is having a big impact here in the third quarter. Blues’ lead cut down to just seven point.
6h agoSun 3 Aug 2025 at 8:55am
Luke Jackson kicks an important one
Oh, Fremantle look on the comeback… Maybe.
 Luke Jackson fumbled the ball across the behind lines trying to mark it as it came towards the big sticks.. The umpire deemed him pushed by his Blues’ opponent and gave him the free.
With the goal, Carlton’s margin is drawn back to just 13 points.
6h agoSun 3 Aug 2025 at 8:46am
Amiss gets the first of the third
The Dockers had a seamless passage inside 50 which all started with a Murphy Reid clearance out of stoppage. The teenager then had the goal assist to Jye Amiss, who kicked the goal.
Carlton hold just a 18-point lead.

Jeremy Cameron has continued his pursuit of a rare century with six goals as Geelong pressed their case for an AFL top-two spot with an 88-point thumping of Port Adelaide.
Cameron swelled his season tally to 75 majors as the focal point in the home side’s dominant 23.15 (153) to 9.11 (65) victory at Kardinia Park on Sunday.
It lifted the fourth-placed Cats (14-6) to within one win of top sides Adelaide and Collingwood, and two points shy of Brisbane, with three rounds left in the home-and-away campaign.
32-year-old Cameron requires another 25 majors in three games plus finals to become the first player since Hawthorn’s Lance Franklin in 2008 to kick 100 in a season.
Max Holmes (35 disposals, two goals), Bailey Smith (30 touches, eight) and Gryan Miers (30 disposals, one goal) also stood out for Geelong, and substitute Jack Martin kicked four goals in a superb cameo.
The only concern for the Cats was Tom Stewart’s high contact on Ollie Wines, which will be scrutinised by the AFL match review officer.
Stewart jumped off the ground in an attempt to smother a Wines handpass and landed on his Power opponent.

Cats sub Martin replaced ruckman Rhys Stanley in a tactical switch and lit up the third quarter with four goals within a few minutes of entering the fray.
It came as Geelong piled on 9.3 to 1.2 in the third quarter against a Power side that managed just six tackles for the term, before hitting cruise control in the last.
Wines (32 disposals, eight clearancs) and Travis Boak (24 touches, one goal) fought hard for Port, who lost captain Connor Rozee (illness) as a late withdrawal.
Zak Butters was held to just 10 touches and Jase Burgoyne was subbed out in the third quarter with an ankle injury.

The siren sounds as the rain returns, and that’s the end of a miserable first half for Fremantle.
They have been played off the park by the Blues, and have to hope the groin injury to Hayden Young is not as bad as feared.
Players like Caleb Serong must lift for the second half, but he’s far from on his own in that respect.
The Dockers could blow up their chances this afternoon with a loss, given their poor percentage they need to win every game they can to ensure they get to the finals.
Right now they are looking far from certain to do that.
