The Hawks are 7-1, the same as this time last year, but doing it in a completely different way.
After 8 games in 2024 they were 7-1, at a % of 190.6, averaging 62 points for and 31 against while averaging 38 inside 50's per game.
2025 has been a very different beast all together with injuries and not being able to hit the offensive high's of last year.
After 8 games in 2025 they are 7-1, at a % of 123.4, averaging just 32 points for but defending at an elite level for only 26 points against while averaging just 30 inside 50's per game.
In this game of 3rd v 12th they were bang on those averages of 33 points scored from just 29 inside 50's but again defended at an elite level of allowing just 18 points against.
With a top score of 40 there's a question mark hanging over them offensive juggernauts North Melbourne (66pts/game) and Melbourne (57pts/game) although Melbourne's draw has been very suspect having played zero top 8 teams at the beginning of this round (8) with only Brisbane to come before finals.
Fremantle are one of those teams that likes in congested, low scoring stoppage-feasts which keeps them in games but isn't really a winning combination against the better teams (4 games under 25pts) and it's these teams that are stuck in the middle of developing a winning brand or winning games, and then not much of either is produced.
From this game we look at:
- Fremantle Cutting Off Hawthorn Exits
- Freo Not Recognising/Utilising Space Going Inside 50
- Hawthorn Forward Press Defense
- No 2nd Layer of Freo Transition Defense
- O'Driscoll Goal Saving Tackle Technique
- Fremantle Defending the Goal Line v Contesting the Ball
- Hawthorn 2nd Layer of Defense
