AFL live scores: Fremantle Dockers take on Adelaide Crows in pre-season clash

0
Murphy Reid has produced a performance which will take the hype over his pre-season into overdrive, wasting few - if any - of his team-high 30 disposals.

Hayden Young (24 disposals), Andrew Brayshaw (22 disposals), Caleb Serong and Neil Erasmus (both 21 disposals) all found plenty of the football for the Dockers.

Stand-in captain Josh Treacy slotted five goals, with Pat Voss, Tobyn Murray, Luke Jackson, Michael Frederick, Shai Bolton, Jordan Clark and Jye Amiss adding one apiece.

Fremantle have claimed a 12.12 (84) to 9.14 (68) win over Adelaide in their final pre-season hit-out in Mandurah.

The Dockers were challenged by the Crows, who led by 12 points in the early stages of the final term, but used a considerable wind in their back to kick the last four goals of the game.

Josh Treacy has slotted his fifth goal and it is one which has all but sealed the win for Fremantle.

As the clock ticked into the fifth minute of added time, the stand-in skipper kicked truly from more than 50m out, which may have erased any lingering doubt over the result.

Jye Amiss ran hard to create some space for himself out the back but could not capitalise on an opportunity, which spilled off his chest and went out of bounds.

If Adelaide want to come from behind to claim a victory, they are going to have to get busy quickly.

Shai Bolton has swooped on a loose ball in trademark fashion and come up with his first goal of the day to give the Dockers the lead.

The WA Origin represenative has not quite been at his best today but that could be a crucial intervention.

Fremantle have finally created a chance for themselves and it was one Josh Treacy was all too happy to take.

The stand-in captain now has four goals for the day and has cut his side’s deficit back inside one straight kick.
