LIVE AFL: Tempers threaten to boil over as Freo stunned in blistering start by '22 spooners.

“Brayshaw has been the catalyst of forward and attacking. At the moment, they’re not marking the ball,” he said. But the goal was denied after the juggling mark was reviewed and paid as a behind. And they’ve made do with the last two goals and they are back in this game,” Fox Footy’s Cameron Mooney said. “(Smalls) Switkowski, Banfield or Schultz, they are the ones drawing the footy. “Just hard elite running. He got them back in the game,” he said. “He’s been the one it looks perhaps to really get Fremantle back in the game.” “Not only is he attacking in that regard, he’s leading the way in tackles as well,” he said. You want a marking target to actually draw the footy and mark the ball in the air.” Taberner looked to be off to a flying start when he snapped what looked to be the first goal of the match. It took Sam Switkowski to fire Fremantle their first to “break the drought” with just two minutes to go in the opening term.

AFL team robbed in controversial ending (NEWS.com.au)

Controversy has erupted on Saturday night in Perth as one team was denied a chance after the siren to win their first game.

Amazing composure for a second gamer to keep that ball alive on the goal line under pressure. So they hear the siren and celebrate,” Johnson said on Fox Footy. SEN’s Tom Morris wrote: “The field umpire can’t pay ‘insufficient intent’ until AFTER the boundary umpire signals the ball has gone out. What a start to his career.” The ball flew towards the boundary around 40m out from goal before bouncing out. That‘s the call we’ve made.”

Freo go down to Roos in frantic finish (Fremantle Dockers)

North Melbourne has pulled off a thrilling one-point victory over Fremantle at Optus Stadium. By Nathan Schmook, afl.com.au -.

Walters wears his heart on his sleeve and was the shot of energy Fremantle needed in his return from an Achilles injury. Walters ran with the flight and dove desperately to take a mark in the pocket, converting his snap set shot and attempting to lift his team out of its slump. Alex Pearce and Jy Simpkin became just the second pair of First Nations players to captain opposing AFL sides on Saturday, marking the significant occasion at the coin toss. There were boos from the crowd and a bit of push and shove from his former teammates, many of whom he is close with. He was a long shot to get the four points, but it turned out to be the perfect homecoming for the important key defender. Returning to Optus Stadium and facing his former Club for the first time was weighing on North Melbourne recruit Griffin Logue.

AFL clears umpires' siren call from North's close win over Dockers (The Age)

The AFL has reviewed the controversial finish to North Melbourne's one-point win over Fremantle in Perth and backed the umpires' call not to award a free ...

Fremantle v North Melbourne - A Load Of Nonsense And A Bit Of ... (The Mongrel Punt)

After going winless on the road in 2022, North knocked over Freo in the west to reguster their second win of the year. Max Ford is on it.

The Freo crowd are in a Freo frenzy. Longmuir, perhaps he’ll see his team near the bottom of the ladder at the conclusion of the round and consider consulting his evil twin for ideas. The Dockers have cut the powerlines and are coming. And when key defender Brennan Cox snaps truly from the top of the goal square, the margin is a solitary point. The final quarter: North hang in there for long periods, and at the 20-minute mark, they’re up by 20 points following a lovely Davies-Uniacke finish. Just the sight of Walters jogging the boundary in his warmup shirt is enough to strike jolts of fear into the hearts of North fans, and poetically, it doesn’t take long for him to make an impact. At half-time, each team has furthered their score by a goal and change since the first break, Freo superstar Andrew Brayshaw is single handedly keeping his team in it with some desperate efforts, whilst North youngster Harry Sheezel is picking up where he left off last week off the half-back flank. The second quarter begins with a bang, North’s Curtis Taylor atoning for his late miss last week with a ripper of a set shot from 50m. Freo have pantsed the Roos in their last three meetings and will surely bounce back at home after the horror show of last week. A mood of mild intrigue sets over the stunning Optus Stadium, ball meets turf, and we’re underway. On the other side of the proverbial ring stood Fremantle, striving to arrest the momentum against them and assert themselves following a loss to the Ross Lyon-coached St Kilda. North have continued to back their young players in and have what could be reasonably called an exciting squad, but no one really gives them much of a chance in this one.
