‘He is just such a weapon’

How did Freo's standout performances against Adelaide rank in the club's history?

Let's have a look at Fremantle's 12-point win at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.

MATT TABERNER
Matt Taberner's four goals at Adelaide Oval was the most ever for a Fremantle player at the ground.

PLAYER ROUND OPPONENT VENUE G
M.Taberner 5 - 2021
 Adelaide Adelaide Oval 4
Z.Clarke 8 - 2014 Port Adelaide Adelaide Oval 3
M.Walters 9 - 2015 Adelaide Adelaide Oval 3
M.Walters 6 - 2016 Adelaide Adelaide Oval 3
M.Walters 23 - 2019 Port Adelaide Adelaide Oval 3


Stats guru 'Sirswampthing' from Twitter also has Taberner as one of four players to have kicked multiple goals in every round this season.

LUKE RYAN
Luke Ryan's 11 rebound 50s against Adelaide trails only Luke Ryan in club history.
Amazingly, Ryan's record of 15 rebound 50s came during 2020 - when games were shorter - as Freo fell to Geelong in the wet at Optus Stadium.
It's the second time Ryan has had 11 rebound 50s in a game. Joel Hamling, Matthew Pavlich and Brad Wira have also achieved the feat.

Ryan's 664.8 meters gained was his highest total away from home.

DAVID MUNDY
It was the 32nd time from 338 games that David Mundy had scored the most AFL Fantasy Points for Fremantle.
His total of 122 was the 18th highest total of his career, which only shows the sheer number of big games he's played for the club in his 17 seasons.

ANDREW BRAYSHAW
Brayshaw notched up career-high disposals (33) and contested possessions (17). They were also game-high totals for the 21-year-old.
In fact, Brayshaw had the highest disposal total for a Fremantle player aged under 22 while playing interstate.

BLAKE ACRES
Acres was rampant in the opening term with nine kicks and 12 disposals. His nine kicks in a quarter was the most by a Fremantle player since Ed Langdon against Essendon in 2019.

TEAM EFFORTS
Fremantle had 152 contested possessions, which is their highest total under Justin Longmuir and the most since playing Essendon at Optus Stadium in 2019.
Fremantle had 54 inside 50s, which was their second-lowest total for 2021, however their conversion rate of 4.5 inside 50s per goal was the club's best so far in 2021. For comparison, Fremantle needed 7.1 inside 50s per goal in round one against Melbourne.
