AFL live scores: Fremantle Dockers take on Sydney Swans in blockbuster top-of-the-table clash

Instant repsonse from the Swans as it looks like Chad Warner’s kick is going eveade everyone but Curnow puts on the jets and reaches out to mark it in the pocket.

Around the corner he gets his second to put him in the lead of the Coleman race.

SYD 5.9 (39) FRE 1.11 (17)

Perfect start for Freo as they use a lot of handballs top go nowhere before McVee gets on a run and goes to Clark who runs in and from outside 50 splits the middle to get the crowd on their feet.

It’s only a 16 point margin.

SYD 4.9 (33) FRE 1.11 (17)

He did the half time warm-up but he will be on the bench for the start of the second half.

Andrew Brayshaw isn’t panicking yet saying the game feels similar to the Geelong one.

Caiden Cleary has a mark inside 50 in the dying seconds but plays on and his snap is intercepted by Judd McVee. What a bizarre call.

Just one goals in the quarter to Tom Papley as the crowd absolutely let the umpires know about their efforts with huge boos ringing out as extra security guards come across. Swans are only plus one in free kicks.

Pat Voss played the final five minutes with his chest out and shirt ripped up, which the crowd enjoyed.

Shai Bolton looks incredibly sore as he spent the final few minutes on his haunches.

The stats are basically even across the ball with both teams recording 25 inside 50s but the big difference is the goal kicking with Freo on 11 straight behinds.

They desperately need someone to break the funk.

Brodie Grundy is dominating the ruck while Errol Gulden has 17 disposals while Tom Papley and Murphy Reid have five score involvements each.

Jye Amiss joins the behind list as his kick from 45 misses left.

SYD 4.9 (33) FRE 0.10 (10)

Mason Cox is playing a legacy game up to five marks with four of them intercepts.

But his kicking is less good as the Swans get the turnover at half forward.

Errol Gulden fidns space and laces a wonderful kick to Tom Papley.

From the 45 it’s a great kick, and he brings out the bow and arrow.

SYD 4.9 (33) FRE 0.9 (9)

Judd McVee with a brave kick into to the middle but it works as O’Meara goes to Clark finds Erasmus who breaks the tackle to hit Frederick on the 45.

But it’s a horror kick as it sneaks in for a behind.

He comes off his man to take a huge intercept at half forward and hits up Murphye Reid, who’s up to his eighth touch in the quarter.

He finds Voss on the edge of 50 but he doesn’t have the distance as it’s spoiled over the line to make it SEVEN straight behinds for the Dockers.

SYD 3.6 (24) FRE 0.7 (7)

Every time it looks like the Fremantle are out someone comes across with a spoil or a run-down tackle.

It’s also forcing the Dockers into multiple skill errors though again umpires aren’t helping after paying an advantage to Murphy Reid that isn’t there.

Swans win the first clearance but the Dockers defend and the crowd are delighted as Jye Amiss wins a free kick for a hold off the ball.

Dockers lock it up inside 50 as Grundy and Jackson continue to battle with the Swan taking the spoils so far.
