Travaglia 59 Originally published as Fremantle v St Kilda AFL Round 16: Live updates, SuperCoach scores, teams 44 38 Saints mids right on top Al Paton That clearance disparity is getting even more stark – St Kilda leading 33-15. And the Saints finally get some reward for their work with Dan Butler kicking their first goal of the half. Ross Lyon has his old side worked out, and Hugo Garcia is doing a great job on Caleb Serong. 35 32 HT: Saints on top of Freo midfield stars Al Paton For the second time this season St Kilda's midfield is doing a job on the Dockers. At halftime the Saints lead clearances 25-11 and centre clearances 8-3. They probably should be in front but have blown some chances in front of goal, kicking 4.8 to Freo's 5.5. Rowan Marshall is having one of his good weeks – he's been huge so far with 15 disposals and a ridiculous goal, while Angus Brayshaw lifted that quarter to join Jordan Clark as Fremantle's best. Jack Sinclair has had 10 disposals but has had almost no influence on the contest. He has 32 SuperCoach points at halftime. 28 30 Rowan Marshall what on earth Al Paton Rowan Marshall just kicked one of the most remarkable goals you'll see – volleying the ball out of mid-air from a throw-up 15m out from goal. He absolutely flushed it and it sailed straight over the goal umpire's hat. The big question – is that a clearance? A hitout to advantage?? ROWAN MARSHALL OUT OF MID AIR ðŸ'¥ðŸ'¥ ðŸ'° Watch #AFLFreoSaints LIVE on ch.504 or stream on Kayo: âœï¸ BLOG ðŸ'¢ MATCH CENTRE â€' Fox Footy (@FOXFOOTY) June 29, 2025 Sigh of relief for Dawson captainers Jordan Dawson has scraped by for SuperCoaches who captained him, finishing on 110 after a big last quarter. Izak Rankine finished on 98, just below the ton. Dan Curtin scored a mammoth 151 points, with Sam Banks topping the scorers for the Tigers ahead of Dion Prestia and Toby Nankervis (both 97). 22 17 JC off to flyer for Freo Al Paton Jordan Clark scored 151 SuperCoach points against St Kilda last year and he's on track to match that today. His first goal – thanks to a free kick and 50m penalty against Dan Butler – is his 11th disposal of the game, to go with five marks – and 61 SuperCoach points early in the first quarter. The Saints answer through an unlikely source – Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera. He needed that after being mown down by Josh Treacy while taking a run down the wing a few minutes ago. 14 11 QT: Dockers have edge in arm wrestle Al Paton Rowan Marshall is the leading ball-winner at quarter-time with nine disposals, eight of them kicks. Jordan Clark has eight while Jack Sinclair and Jack Macrae have seven each for the Saints. Quieter start for Andrew Brayshaw and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, who have just three each. Brayshaw hit the target with all three of his and added two tackles to sit on 20 SuperCoach points, while Wanganeen-Milera has a direct clanger, no tackles and 4 SuperCoach points. SuperCoach leaders 44 – Rowan Marshall 42 – Hunter Clark 40 – Jordan Clark 37 – Max Hall 35 – Josh Treacy 'The Alger-ithm is right': Tiger cubs make their mark Luke Trainor and Jasper Alger have both recorded their first goals at AFL level. Trainor, the grandson of superboot Doug Wade, nailed a set shot from 40 metres out, while Alger had a tricky goal from the square slide off his boot. Jasper Alger with one of the freakier first goals you'll see 😮#AFLTigersCrows â€' AFL (@AFL) June 29, 2025 Alger then slotted another one from 45 metres out on an angle. 14 10 Where's Nas? Al Paton Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera came into this game in red-hot form, averaging 120 SuperCoach points in his past four games. But he has been barely sighted so far, with his one kick going straight to Docker Andrew Braywhaw. He has just 6 SuperCoach points closing on quarter-time. 8 9 Saints' surprise tagger call Al Paton Ace tagger Marcus Windhager appears to be assigned to … no one. He seems to be playing as a forward while Hugo Garcia goes head-to-head with Caleb Serong in the centre square. Serong has taken full advantage, racing out to 21 SuperCoach points midway through the first term. Luke Jackson is playing as a midfielder – opposed to Jack Steele – with Sean Darcy in the ruck. 32 79 Tiger Tom finally gets a win Al Paton Tom Lynch will break into positive SuperCoach points after his first goal of the afternoon. It's been a rough day at the office, getting terrible delivery and harrassed and outnumbered by Crows defenders – which led to a third-quarter report – but that was some reward for the Tigers' best ball movement of the day.

‘As bad as I've seen' AFL demands an explanation for dangerous SCG ‘sandpit'
Dillon was on the phone first thing Saturday morning seeking an explanation for the substandard surface, speaking with chair of Venues NSW David Gallop, an organisation that oversees the SCG Trust. The AFL leases the ground from the trust. The AFL will also send a turf expert to Sydney this week to ensure another surface debacle does not unfold for the Swans' coming clash against Fremantle on Sunday, July 6. One heart-stopping moment happened during the third term when Bulldog star Bailey Williams's legs buckled awkwardly on the shifting ground as he chased after the ball. Another glaring example happened when speedster Nick Blakey slipped over as he tried to take off on a customary run at a crucial stage of the last quarter. The Bulldogs won a tense contest by nine points to mark captain Marcus Bontempelli's 250th game. Brownlow medallist and geelong premiership star Jimmy Bartel slammed the surface as unacceptable. 'I've genuinely got concern,' he told 3AW after the match. 'When I saw Bailey Williams charging out for the footy and went to change direction and (slipped), that had ACL written all over it. 'As we know, it would have to take a star to get hurt to do anything. 'It shouldn't matter who it is but could you only imagine of Isaac Heeney or Chad Warner or (Sam) Darcy or Bont (Marcus Bontempelli) went down with an injury? What would we be saying? 'There's no way you could tick that off (the surface). Guys have got studded footwear in and if they decided to change direction, they were gone.' Bartel said the clubs and the AFL 'got lucky' that no player suffered a serious injury. Triple premiership Lion Jonathan Brown questioned whether the Friday night match should have been allowed to go ahead. 'This is as bad as I have seen in years,' Brown told Fox Footy. 'I remember playing on the early (Marvel Stadium) surface, and that was a sandpit, but this is shocking. 'It's disgraceful management to let the ground get to this. It's a shame.'
