A midfield made up of first-year Fremantle players helped lead Peel Thunder to a 49-point pre-season victory against Subiaco, running out 14.8 (92) to 6.7 (43) winners at Rushton Park on Saturday.

19-year-old Tom North impressed in the middle, collecting 31 possessions, eight clearances, laying seven tackles and kicking a goal.

18-year-olds Adam Cerra and Mitch Crowden also impacted the contest and the scoreboard, collecting 18 and 19 disposals respectively with Cerra kicking 2.0 and Crowden 1.1.

The trio helped heap pressure on Subiaco’s mids, laying 20 tackles between them, with Crowden racking up seven and Cerra six.

Rookie defender Taylin Duman made an impact all over the ground, leading Peel with four rebound 50s and four inside 50s and kicking 3.0 in a move forward.

Duman collected 20 disposals, the second most for Peel, and also laid seven tackles.

A trio of Freo-listed rucks helped Peel dominate the ruck contests 61-47. Sean Darcy led the way with 37 hitouts with help from first-year players Scott Jones (16) and Lloyd Meek (8).

Jones provided a tall marking option when resting forward, taking four contested marks and three uncontested marks and kicked 1.2.

Key forward draftee Hugh Dixon also showed his potential up front with two goals, while first-year small forward Sam Switkowski kicked 1.1 to go with his 16 disposals.

Speedy midfielder Stefan Giro collected eight disposals prior to coming off with a knee injury.
