Anthony was named Fremantle's WAFL player of the round after his four-goal performance for Subiaco, also earning praise for his forward pressure.
Assistant coach Simon Lloyd said Anthony went into the clash with Claremont focused on winning contested possessions and his work-rate was evident from the first bounce.
"Jack understands that if he's going to play in our forward line he's going to have to be able to provide multiple leads, which he can, but also play with that forward pressure," Lloyd said.
"That's something he did on the weekend, so we were really happy with his game."
Fremantle has options to replace the injured Nick Suban (leg) this week, with Jesse Crichton, Clancee Pearce and Michael Walters all performing well in the WAFL, while Nick Lower was an emergency last week.
Lloyd said there was depth emerging in the club's WAFL stocks.
"We've got probably half a dozen players that are starting to play some good football in the WAFL and they're really clear on what we expect at AFL level if they do have to step up," he said.
Ahead of Monday's ANZAC Day clash with the Western Bulldogs, Lloyd shared his WAFL notes with fremantlefc.com.au.
South Fremantle 17.10 (112) d Swan Districts 13.10 (88)
Michael Walters
Michael played a solid four quarters of football for Swan Districts. One area we looked at was his crumbing for the ball and he got front-and-centre and kicked a great goal on one occasion. That's something we want him to do more of. He made good decisions and used the ball well, and we know he can work effectively in our forward structure at senior level.
Clancee Pearce
Clancee worked really hard for Swan Districts in a high forward role, taking 16 marks and winning some contested football in the air. We're looking at Clancee to run and carry the football and have bursts with the football, and that's something he certainly did at different times.
Perth 20.14 (134) d Peel Thunder 14.9 (93)
Casey Sibosado
Casey played at both centre half-back and full-back and was probably below his benchmark after playing some consistent football for a long time now. His ball-use was good by foot, but at different times he was led to the ball as a backman. He's improved his ability to dictate where the forward leads to and I'm sure he'll get back to that.
Viv Michie
Viv spent more time in the midfield this week as well as playing wing and forward for Peel. He started a bit slowly but worked his way into the game in the second quarter. He spread really well to link up and was effective in his delivery by foot. He'll start to go through the midfield a lot more as the season progresses.
Peter Faulks
Peter battled really hard defensively for Peel and spoiled well. He relies a lot on his closing speed and looked to run off his opponent offensively early, which we were happy with. Peter's building up his conditioning base and we've found him to be really diligent and professional with his preparation. We want him to focus on offering a rebounding option out of the backline.
Jesse Crichton
Jesse played wing, midfield and as a high forward for Peel and we were really happy with his energy around the contest early in the game. He kicked well to advantage and used the ball creatively by hand, but in the second half he didn't run and carry the ball as much as we would have liked. Jesse's a really competitive player and there were occasions in the last quarter when he was beaten.
Claremont 13.14 (92) d Subiaco 13.8 (86)
Jack Anthony
Jack played an important game for Subiaco and he really went to get his own football. There were some strong leads early on to beat his opponent, and he took a few strong marks. He used the ball very well around the ground with his field kicking and he kicked four goals, which could quite easily have been six. His forward pressure was good and he looked to move the ball on quickly.
West Perth 15.10 (100) d East Perth 11.11 (77)
Josh Mellington
Josh didn't have a game where he was up and about for West Perth, so he'll keep focusing on his positioning and his work-rate. Josh will no doubt learn how to work through games and make things turn his way. When Josh is playing his best football his forward pressure is high and his attack on the ball is good.
Zac Clarke
When Zac went into the ruck he had an impact around the ground and at stoppages for East Perth. He needs to focus on following up his tap work and continue to use his athleticism, which is his greatest asset. As the game wore on Zac got more confident in his attack on the ball in the air and he took a number of strong marks. We'll continue to develop that aspect of his game so he can play in the ruck and forward. He had his biggest impact when running between the 50m arcs and attracting the footy.
Hamish Shepheard
While his stats weren't high for East Perth, Hamish was very impressive from a defensive point of view. He played key back for the majority of the game and controlled his opponent physically. He didn't allow any jumping space and cut off a number of forward entries. We were really happy with his disposal when he did have the ball and his disputed ball gathers.
