The Stocks Round 11: Fremantle and West Coast

A strong week of upward movers across both WA clubs, with several players hitting new levels, whether it be through consistency, career-best numbers or long-awaited breakouts. Nothing but positives, sees the usual up/down split separated into the rising category alone. Here are the numbers that matter most for TABtouch punters heading into round 12. 

UP

Murphy Reid

We’ve said it before but it’s hard to believe this guy is still a teenager, posting back-to-back 30+ disposal games, after never previously stringing together consecutive 25+ disposal performances. Sits right in the conversation for a maiden All-Australian blazer.

Karl Worner

Finding his groove, Worner has now delivered consecutive 25+ disposal games for the first time in his career, in an impressive patch of form. The 24-year-old is becoming more reliable by the week in the back-half.

Jye Amiss

Tracking towards a career-best season, with Amiss already sitting 8 goals clear of any previous return through the first 11 rounds. Keeping in mind he kicked 41, 36 and 32 goals in the past three seasons…

Milan Murdock

Thriving on the road, Murdock has now recorded 20+ disposals in every game away from Optus Stadium this season. Numbers haven’t soared as much on his home deck, but there’s only one home game where he hasn’t hit the scoreboard for a goal yet, so expect him to make an impact one way or another against Essendon on Sunday.

Elliot Yeo

A reminder of his impact, Yeo produced his first 3+ goal game since 2017 in a standout display to get the Eagles within ten points of Collingwood at the MCG. Has now kicked his most goals in the first 11 rounds since a decade ago in 2016.

Nathan O’Driscoll

A career-best outing, finishing with 27 disposals, the highest tally of his 42-game career to date. Recent injuries have opened up a spot for him, which he has taken with both hands since returning to the lineup against Essendon last week. Freo are a better team when he’s close to his best, with the daring left foot and ability to finish his work.
