AFL great Gerard Healy has revealed a statistic that has set Fremantle up for a “very good crack at finals”. Fremantle has had a terrific start to the year. sitting second on the ladder with a 4 1 record. making light work of Essendon at Marvel Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Justin Longmuir’s side currently leads the competition for points differential from turnovers (+188 points). in front of Melbourne (+173 points) and Brisbane Lions (+73 points). The side that has led in this area of the game after Round 5 over the last six years have competed in a preliminary final. “I don’t think anybody has realised how good the Fremantle Dockers are.” Healy said on Sportsday. “At Round 5 over the last six years. the team with the best turnover score differential has made a preliminary final. who do you reckon that side is at the moment? “The men in purple. they’ve set themselves up for a very good crack at finals football. They’re just so impressive and how young they are.” Fremantle hosts Carlton on Saturday night with both sides sharing 4 1 starts to the year. The last time Fremantle featured in a preliminary final was in 2015 against Hawthorn.
