ELEVEN Fremantle-listed players were in action for Peel in the WAFL over the weekend, as the Thunder went down to South Fremantle by 35 points.

Jaeger O’Meara: The 31-year-old midfielder made a successful return to football after being sidelined with foot and hamstring injuries since Freo’s Round 6 loss to Melbourne. O’Meara last played in the WAFL as a 17-year-old, 5,041 days ago. He impressed from the outset, gathering 26 disposals, five tackles, four inside 50s, and a team-high seven clearances.

Brandon Walker: Played his first minutes since dislocating his shoulder in Round 2 against the Swans. He settled back into his defensive role, bringing elite pressure and crashing packs, finishing with 10 disposals, five tackles, and two inside 50s.

Michael Walters: Returned on managed minutes for the Thunder and despite testing conditions, worked himself into the game in the second half. He finished with five disposals but brought his trademark pressure with five tackles playing as a half-forward. His on-field leadership was invaluable as he spent large portions of the game directing his younger teammates.

Will Brodie: Unfortunately, had his game cut short after sustaining a concussion early in the contest.

Hugh Davies: Impressed again as one of Peel’s key defenders, holding Bernie Naylor Medal leader Trey Ruscoe goalless on a tough day for the Thunder’s defence. Despite the 35-point loss, Davies' efforts saw him among Peel’s best on the day.

Charlie Nicholls: Built on last week’s strong performance by kicking two goals for the second week in a row. The young key forward was Peel’s only multiple goal-kicker, booting two of the team’s five goals.

Oscar McDonald: Also among Peel’s best, finishing with 23 disposals and a game-high 10 marks in wet conditions. His disposal count was his highest individual return for the 2025 season.

Jack Delean: Worked hard for his 14 disposals and kicked a goal, making him one of Peel’s four goal-kickers on the day.

Quinton Narkle: Provided run and drive for Peel, recording an equal game-high eight inside 50s alongside his 24 disposals and five tackles.

Liam Reidy: Battled hard in the ruck against his South Fremantle counterpart, collecting 52 hitouts, 13 disposals, and five tackles. It’s the second time this year Reidy has recorded over 50 hitouts in a match.

Isaiah Dudley: Applied strong pressure and rounded out Peel’s goal-kickers with a single major. He continues to refine his game and push for Fremantle selection with 11 disposals, three tackles, and two marks.
