As coach Justin Longmuir watched on, several fringe Fremantle Dockers kept themselves in the frame for senior selection with solid showings for Peel Thunder in their six-point win over East Perth at Sullivan Logistics Stadium on Saturday.

Bailey Banfield: Was among his side’s best in a 25-disposal effort across half-back. His ball use, which was sometimes shaky in a defensive role for the Dockers, has improved this season.

Jaren Carr: Impressive in an on-ball role in the reserves.

Hugh Davies: May be the leading contender to replace Alex Pearce in the senior side after another good performance. The impressive 21-year-old is equally comfortable in locking away a forward and coming off his man to impact as an interceptor.

Josh Draper: Shuffled between a number of defensive roles. Used his speed to good effect on a few occasions to shut down promising attacking moves from the Royals.

Leon Kickett: Did not replicate the scoreboard impact of a three-goal league debut in a goalless return to the reserves, although his ball use was very good.

Oscar McDonald: Given the chance to stake his claim to replace Pearce by being moved back to defence. Found plenty of the football, but was beaten by former teammate Sebit Kuek in some one-on-one contests.

Ryda Luke: Went without a goal for the fourth game running in the reserves.

Ollie Murphy: Did not see much action as the deepest defender in the reserves.

Tobyn Murray: A classy goal on the run in the third term was the highlight of an otherwise quiet day.

Charlie Nicholls: A goal barely a minute after the opening siren sounded proved to be his only scoreboard impact for the afternoon.

Nathan O’Driscoll: Was solid again splitting his time between an inside midfield role and the wing. Also worked forward to kick a goal, which he has now done in each of his last three games.

Aiden Riddle: Produced the best performance of his fledgling career, splitting the points in his battle with one of the WAFL’s premier ruckmen in Scott Jones.

Chris Scerri: Threatened to break the game open with his speed on a few occasions throughout a day which netted one goal.

Jeremy Sharp: Immediately looked too good for the WAFL again on his return to the level, with his season-high 37 disposals including 21 in the first half. AFL-listed players do not often feature prominently in the Sandover Medal count, but he very well may if he remains on the fringes of senior selection.

Cooper Simpson: In a scrappy affair, the quality of the half-back’s ball use stood out. Launched several end-to-end chains which resulted in scores by taking on and hitting aggressive kicks.

Adam Sweid: Tried to give his side a spark by taking the game on, but was caught with the football on a few occasions.

Brandon Walker: Made a decent start to the game before unfortunately suffering his second concussion within the span of two weeks.

Toby Whan: Ran hard up and down the wing all day long and was neat with his disposal.
