Fremantle were carrying key injuries, down on form, had 6 less scoring shots but used the ball better, cleared the ball more efficiently showed more composure, were cleaner, better in tight and on the spread , broke more tackles, stuck more important tackles, ran harder, were more disciplined and took their chances. Performances need to be judged in context and the only context that really matters is the final score.
Still carry too many players with glaring deficiencies. I suspect our better players and leaders would have more composure if they had more confidence in the rest of the side to share the load and do the job.
Forget top 4, was always a pipedream anyway - still think we're touch and go to even make the 8. I feel another 9th coming on.
