Who impressed...

Nat Fyfe

Death, taxes, Nat Fyfe being among Fremantle’s best.

The Brownlow medallist was terrific from the opening bounce, dominating the clearances and delivering the ball with pinpoint accuracy by foot.

Fyfe had a team-high 32 disposals (at 78 per cent efficiency) to go with a game-high eight clearances and eight tackles.

Luke Ryan

The bottled blonde is putting together some season for the Dockers.

The mature-age pick-up had plenty of work to do in defence, but he drove the ball out of danger with a cool head and clean disposal.

The 38-gamer’s 34 disposals was a career-best effort, and he did it as the efficiency of 88.2 per cent which was better than any of his teammates.

He also had six marks and six rebound-50s in a sublime performance.

Ryan Nyhuis

Spending most of the day manning up on Eddie Betts is no easy feat.

But the Northern Territory product did more than just hold up his end of the bargain, keeping Betts goalless for most of the match before the Crows livewire snapped an incredible goal late.

Nyhuis attacks the ball hard and uses the ball well under pressure, earning the praise of Dockers champion Matthew Pavlich.

He has made the most of his opportunities the past fortnight after getting a recall to replace the suspended Taylin Duman, who couldn’t force his way back into the side after serving his one-game ban.

Elliott Himmelberg

Josh Jenkins is going to find it hard to get back into the side if Himmelberg keeps playing like this.

In a match dominated by midfielders and defenders, Himmelberg presented well and took some really strong contested marks to be one of the more influential forwards on the ground.

He kicked an opportunistic third-quarter goal, which was like gold in such a low-scoring match, to go with six marks and four inside-50s.

And who didn’t...

Rory Lobb

The athletic big man was well beaten in the ruck by Reilly O’Brien.

O’Brien was the prominent ruckman on the ground, finishing with 44 hit-outs and 22 disposals compared to Lobb’s 30 and 10.

Lobb took a strong mark midway through final term but missed a gettable shot at goal.

It might be time for Fremantle to consider recalling young tall Sean Darcy, who was terrific in the WAFL on Saturday with 42 hit-outs, 11 disposals, four tackles and a goal for Peel Thunder.

Darcy’s potential inclusion will free up Lobb to spend more time up forward.

Cam McCarthy

It was a hard game for most of the forwards on the ground in such a low-scoring affair.

But the former Giant was well held by Crows backman Kyle Hartigan.

It was the second game in a row that McCarthy went goalless.

Plenty of other forward struggled to have an impact in both sides including Fremantle’s Sam Switkowski and Jesse Hogan and star Adelaide goalsneak Eddie Betts.

Half-forward Darcy Tucker (two goals) was the game’s only multiple goal-kicker.
