Voss Stars Against Former Club as Fremantle Crush Essendon by 43 Points
A familiar face has delivered a painful reminder at the MCG as Essendon’s struggles deepened in a one-sided clash that showcased Fremantle’s growing dominance this season. On a wet and heavy afternoon, it was Patrick Voss who stole the spotlight, producing a ruthless five-goal performance to lead the Dockers to a commanding 104 to 61 victory over the Bombers.
From the opening bounce, Fremantle looked sharper, cleaner and far more composed in the conditions. They jumped out early and never truly let Essendon settle into the contest. By halftime, the Bombers had managed just 1.8 on the scoreboard, while Fremantle had already built a match-defining buffer with wave after wave of forward pressure and precision finishing.
The second quarter became the turning point. Voss, facing his former club, erupted with four goals in a single term, turning every opportunity into a statement. His celebration told its own story, as he fed off the moment and the atmosphere while Essendon’s defence struggled to contain the relentless Dockers attack.

Fremantle’s midfield set the tone throughout. Caleb Serong and Andrew Brayshaw controlled the contest, while Shai Bolton added spark and scoreboard impact with two goals of his own. The Dockers’ system looked structured and confident, moving the ball with purpose even as rain continued to fall across the MCG.
Essendon showed brief resistance after halftime, lifting their intensity and edging the second half marginally, but the damage had already been done. Young forward Sullivan Robey offered one of the few bright spots for the Bombers, finishing with two goals and showing composure beyond his experience. Nate Caddy and Archer May also contributed, but consistency across four quarters remained out of reach.
For Essendon, the result highlights a worrying pattern. Defensive lapses and slow starts continue to cost them heavily and their record now reflects a season stuck in reverse with just one win from ten games. The frustration was visible as opportunities slipped away early and too often.
For Fremantle, however, this was another strong step forward. Their ninth consecutive win equals a club record and their form now places them firmly among the competition’s most consistent sides. Momentum, belief and execution are all building at the right time.
As the Dockers continue their surge and the Bombers search for answers, the gap between the two sides was clear for all to see. Stay with us for the latest updates as this AFL season continues to unfold across a rapidly shifting ladder.
