    Reid's Staying, Dogs Are Coming

    Wharf Talk - Bolton's Back, Young's Out

    Teams are locked in and there are no late changes, so this is the confirmed version. Shai Bolton is named as a follower, not a forward — with Hayden Young and Jaeger O'Meara both out, he starts on-ball from the first bounce. Matt Flynn is an emergency, so Luke Jackson faces Bailey Williams instead. Oscar McDonald plays his 100th, Nathan O'Driscoll and Karl Worner both bring up 50.

    Wharf Talk: Port Selection Special

    Thursday selection special for Fremantle v Port Adelaide, Round 19. JB breaks down all the news that has changed since Tuesday's review: Shai Bolton confirmed out through management, Mason Cox retaining the ruck ahead of a fit but omitted Sean Darcy, and Port Adelaide losing Zak Butters to surgery, Mitch Georgiades to concussion protocols and Jason Horne-Francis to suspension. Balyn O'Brien is set to debut for Port, Miles Bergman is moving into the midfield, and Willem Drew could captain the side with Connor Rozee still absent. JB runs the predicted Fremantle 22 with the key line-ball calls defended, breaks down why the Cox over Darcy decision makes sense right now, and explains what Bolton's replacement actually needs to deliver without trying to replicate what Bolton does. Key matchups covered: Josh Treacy against Aliir Aliir and what entry quality decides that contest; Caleb Serong against a heavily burdened Willem Drew; the Bolton replacement against debutant Balyn O'Brien; and why Luke Jackson floating around Jordon Sweet may matter more than the opening bounce battle. Squiggle projects Fremantle to win 77 to 60 with a 68.1 percent average win probability across models, but Port holds a 10.7 point home-ground advantage at Adelaide Oval and their record of making Fremantle uncomfortable at that venue keeps this from being a formality. Three things to watch Saturday: whether Cox justifies the selection call by denying Port clean stoppage exits; whether Bolton's replacement generates enough forward pressure to stop Port walking out uncontested; and how Port configures its reshuffled midfield and whether Fremantle can expose those unfamiliar combinations under repeated transition pressure.

    Wharf Talk - Round 18 Review

    Tuesday Review, Round 18 to 19. Fremantle beat Sydney 111 to 73 at Optus Stadium on Thursday 9 July in one of the season's most dramatic momentum swings, entering half-time 22 points down after kicking 0.11 before producing 15.10 after the break. This episode breaks down why the second half worked, what the first half reveals about a genuine concern, and what to expect at Adelaide Oval against Port Adelaide on Saturday 18 July. Topics covered include Fremantle's dominant contested statistics, clearance and inside 50 numbers, the individual performances of Murphy Reid, Caleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw and Josh Treacy, Luke Jackson and Mason Cox's ruck partnership, conversion rate problems and the discipline issues Longmuir addressed post-match. The episode also previews Port Adelaide's heavily disrupted squad, the head-to-head record at Adelaide Oval, the ruck selection question around Sean Darcy's return, and what Fremantle must fix before finals if they are serious about going deep in September. Fremantle sit first on the ladder with a 15 and 1 record and two wins clear of Sydney heading into Round 19.
