    Freo extend winning record with total eclipse of the Suns

    Fremantle's 14th straight win delivered Gold Coast's fifth consecutive loss

    Fremantle has sent Gold Coast's season into a tailspin 10 months on from the classic elimination final between the clubs, crushing the Suns by 51 points at Optus Stadium on Sunday and extending its own formidable winning run.

    Freo controlled the game from start to finish in their 14th straight win, using frenetic pressure, organised defence, and a slick handball game to win 11.14 (80) to 3.11 (29) and open a two-game break at the top of the ladder.

    In their first clash against the Suns since their heartbreaking finals exit last year, they highlighted the growing gap between the two teams this season, holding Damien Hardwick's men to their lowest ever score against Freo and their equal fourth lowest on record.

    It was a powerful performance from the disciplined and selfless Freo that was only marred by some inaccurate kicking, with the final margin flattering the Suns, who have now lost five straight games and slid to 11th on the ladder in a season that promised so much.

    Fremantle led by 20 points at the main break but turned the screws in the second half, kicking seven goals to two as star big man Luke Jackson furthered his Brownlow Medal credentials with a terrific performance kicking and setting up goals from the ruck.

    Star midfielder Andrew Brayshaw (29 disposals, eight inside 50s and a goal) was outstanding, while second-year gun Murphy Reid dazzled throughout with 28 touches and seven score involvements.

    ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS

    Freo controlled possession but still out-tackled the Suns 66-45, with their rock-solid defence led by Alex Pearce proving impenetrable and their tall forwards dominating the air with a massive 17 marks inside 50 to four.

    It was half-forward Michael Frederick, however, who did maximum damage, booting an equal career-high four goals, with Pat Voss and Jackson booting two each as ruckman Sean Darcy returned to the team with one. 

    The Suns' under-fire midfield was able to win the clearance battle on paper (36-24), but it led nowhere for last year's semi-finalists, who appeared bereft of confidence and frequently frustrated. 

    Key defender Sam Collins battled admirably on Jye Amiss, while captain Noah Anderson (32 and eight clearances) won plenty of the ball, with Jed Walter kicking two goals in the second half.

    Fremantle's physicality was a feature early, with Freo bullying their opponents around the contest in the first quarter, applying significant pressure and then slicing through the corridor with rapid handball chains.

    The Suns looked shellshocked as Frederick kicked the opening three goals of the game, with the visitors going goalless in the opening term for the first time this season and trailing by 26 points early.

    The second quarter was an arm-wrestle as rain set in, with Gold Coast holding up better defensively and at the coalface but unable to capitalise, kicking the only goal for the term as Freo squandered opportunities.

    Freo's ability to dominate inside 50s in the first half (31-17) suggested the game would break open in the second half if Freo persisted, but the Suns could point to their own clearance ascendency (23-10) to suggest they would find a way to control terms.

    As it turned out, Gold Coast won the first two clearances of the third quarter, and Fremantle kicked the first two goals, with Jackson and Voss converting long-range set shots and opening a 31-point break.

    Frederick's fourth typified Fremantle's game, with their pressure on the Suns opening a window for O'Driscoll to intercept the ball in the midfield, flicking a handball to Brayshaw who then kicked long to Frederick inside 50.

    Darcy's return was capped with a goal late in the quarter, extending the margin to 40 points and leaving the Suns' season teetering as they slide further out of contention at 7-8. 

    Only a late goal from Walter prevented Gold Coast from kicking its fewest-ever goals in a game.
