13 Fremantle-listed players featured for Peel Thunder as they missed a chance to claim the minor premiership with a 20-point loss to Swan Districts at Sullivan Logistics Stadium on Saturday.
Here’s how they fared.
James Aish: Registered 26 disposals, the equal-most of any Thunder player. Could have helped out in the middle but was still stationed mostly across half-back.
Neil Erasmus: Missed his running mate Will Brodie

Hugh Davies: A muddy ball made things difficult in his interceptor role but he repelled some attacks with strong marks. Has been helped greatly by McDonald’s inclusion.
Jack Delean: Was good again in the reserves, kicking two goals.
Tom Emmett: Showed his class in difficult conditions by slotting two of the Thunder’s four goals. Was injected into some centre bounces when his side needed a spark.

Odin Jones: Looked to be battling a side problem all day, spending long periods receiving medical attention. Recorded just three hit-outs and one disposal.
Max Knobel: Held his own against one of the competition’s premier ruckmen and former Docker Scott Jones, winning 33 hit-outs.
Sebit Kuek: Has done some chop-out ruck work in recent weeks but played the entire game as a forward, where he was hardly sighted.

PLAYERCARDEND
Ollie Murphy: Held down a key defensive post in the reserves.
Cooper Simpson: A few ‘almost’ moments but did not have much of an impact.
Ethan Stanley: Continues to fill a thankless role on the wing, running all day from goal-post to goal-post.
Matt Taberner: Kicked one goal on a difficult day for the key forwards.
Karl Worner.
Conrad Williams: Was caught with the ball on a few occasions in the reserves.
Karl Worner: Among his side’s best across half-back, playing an important role in spring-boarding offensive chains. Limped from the ground after being kicked in the shin in the third term but played out the game without issue.
