Fremantle veteran Ryan Crowley said the even contribution in front of goal was a major weapon for the team in its dismantling of the Power on their home deck.
"I think that it is crucial, especially with Pav [Fremantle skipper Matthew Pavlich] moving up into the midfield this year," said Crowley, who gathered 26 possessions in the win.
"We've had a couple of guys having great years in Chris Mayne [two goals] and Hayden Ballantyne [one] and these sorts of guys."
Kepler Bradley continued his remarkable start to season 2011 with three goals against Port to take his tally to 19 for the year. Another six players booted two goals apiece for Freo, creating a nightmare for Port's defenders in trying to stem the flow.
"It's one of our strengths that if somebody is being shut down, somebody else can fill the void," added Crowley.
Fremantle peppered the scoreboard in the early stages of the game, registering 10 scoring shots to Port's four in the opening quarter. Fremantle also led the inside-50 count 16 to nine by the first break, resulting in a 31-point advantage for the visitors by quarter-time.
"It was something we concentrated on and it was good to get off to a good start," said Crowley of Freo's first-quarter blitz.
"As a travelling side [a good start] is pretty important, and every time you travel you want to try and keep their crowd quiet and create a bit of momentum."
Fremantle's lengthy injury list was a point of concern for Mark Harvey's men heading into the match, with the club listing a staggering 14 players as unavailable to play against the Power. But Crowley said the issue, while not ideal, had a silver lining for the playing group.
"The last couple of weeks it [the playing list] has been stretched a little bit," said Crowley.
"But today we had a lot of young guys playing. Guys like Jesse Crichton and even Tendai [Mzungu] coming in for his first game. He's not so young, but in terms of experience he's young."
"So it does say a bit about our depth and it seems that these guys have come a lot further along that what many might have thought."
Mature-age recruit Mzungu was rushed straight into the senior side from a long-term knee injury during the pre-season, prompting many to question whether the 25-year-old was ready to perform at AFL level.
He made his debut as Freo's substitute against the Power, and gathered six disposals and looked lively after being injected into the game during the final term to suggest he has a strong future.
"It was pretty disappointing for him to do his knee like he did," said Crowley of Mzungu's injury against West Coast in a NAB Challenge match.
"He worked really hard over the pre-season and he probably had the best pre-season of everyone at the club."
"But when you've waited that long to get your shot at age 25 - what's another 10 weeks?"
Fremantle coach Mark Harvey knew it was a gamble to bring the untried Mzungu straight into the side, but was adamant he could hold his own with a few more games under his belt.
"It was a big risk, but I think in time you're going to see this guy be a real weapon for us," he said Harvey at his post-game media conference.
