Nine things we learned: The Saints weren't wrong about this Swan (AFL)

Paddy McCartin has gone from VFL to VIP in the space of a year, and Nat Fyfe has reminded us of his greatness, plus more R17 lessons.

Caldwell, now in his fourth season, has found a regular home in the Bombers' midfield in 2022, but played the best game of his short career by keeping the 2020 Brownlow medallist to 21 disposals and gathering 26 of his own. With Brisbane surging in the final term, the 21-year-old jumped clear from a centre clearance and banged home a goal from 50m to ice the four premiership points. The 23-year-old has leapt back up the Coleman Medal leader board after slotting five goals to help swipe away Adelaide at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Lewis had five on the board by halfway through the second quarter and looked set for a monster day, before being well held in the second half. It was Ainsworth who tracked the ball back to win an intercept in the dying seconds that started the chain for Anderson's heroics. Charlie Curnow sparked the team and they eventually piled on the goals in a fearsome finsih that has them on the edge of the top four. Rozee is enjoying a purple patch, booting 11 goals in the past six games for the Power. This season he's also been used more around stoppages and has raised his game with a career-high 3.1 clearances per game. Geelong was conservative with Patrick Dangerfield's return to action over the past few weeks and wanted him primed for the final sprint of the season. He was at it again on Friday night in the Swans' win over the Western Bulldogs, with McCartin dominant in defence with 14 grabs and 22 disposals in his 50th game at the top level. But they were then sucked into playing the Eagles' game and became the first team to concede seven goals in a quarter to the 17th-placed club this season. Fyfe switched momentum his side's way and had a hand in everything as the Dockers ran away with the contest. After missing 16 games from round 19 last year, Fyfe was looking like playing the role of a powerful mid-sized forward in Freo's campaign, but a reassessment is needed: he could be the difference between silverware and a cupboard that's bare. A season on and McCartin is a crucial part of Sydney's premiership hopes, with the key defender now an intercept-mark king in the competition.

Braden Quartermaine: Nat Fyfe is still building and not Fremantle ... (The West Australian)

Nat Fyfe's second half was excellent and his force and nous around the contest was useful, but he wasn't exactly the centre bounce saviour.

Cancel anytime. Cancel anytime.

Justin Longmuir post-match Q&A - Round 17 v St Kilda (Fremantle Dockers)

Hear what Justin Longmuir had to say following Fremantle's 41-point win over the Saints on Saturday night.

He’s an experienced player and he’s a leader of our club and it’s on him sometimes to identify where he can have the most impact and in the second half that was in the midfield a little bit more and we will just keep playing around with it. I’ve been really impressed with his efforts all year and not just the footy season, but the moment he walked back into the Club last year, he committed to his work, he committed over the pre-season to be really competitive and connected to his teammates and it’s showing in his footy. I think we had 13 players playing in the league at Peel today and the health of our squad is in good order so it’s a good problem to have. We just make sure we put all our efforts in to the process and the ladder looks after itself. I think this year, when we stick to our way, we’ve been able to find moments in games where we get momentum and get control of the game and the big difference this year from the last couple of years is we’re able to cash in when that happens and we’re able to score. We feel like we play pretty well here, I think we had a good win against Collingwood last year and we played some pretty decent footy against Essendon last year, and beat Essendon here earlier in the year.
