Source: Sunday Mail (SA) COACH Ross Lyon hailed Fremantle's character after a slogging seven-point away victory against Adelaide he rates among their best of the year. Fremantle kicked the last two goals of the game to win 10.6 (66) to 8.11 (59) at a rain-soaked AAMI Stadium. The Dockers enter their bye weekend entrenched in the top four and with top-line talent including captain Matthew Pavlich and forward Michael Walters expected to play in their next game. Lyon praised the spirit of his players, who rallied in the last quarter. After Adelaide star Patrick Dangerfield put the Crows in front, Fremantle kicked two goals in a minute to seal a seventh win of the season. It was an emphatic response. We displayed a fair bit of football character," Lyon said. But the demanding Lyon said the Dockers remained "far from where we want to be." "We have got nothing to be pleased about, bar the fact we're in a position where we can control our own destiny," he said. Fremantle created their third victory from four road trips this season with a second-quarter burst which reaped four goals to one. Adelaide won every other quarter. The Crows also had eight more inside 50s, more scoring shots, more disposals and more contested possessions. And Adelaide's Sam Jacobs dominated the ruck with 50 hit outs - 12 more than Fremantle's entire ruck division. "We won most of the stats but didn't win on the scoreboard ... their frontal pressure, at times, we couldn't handle," Crows coach Brenton Sanderson said. Adelaide also couldn't handle Fremantle's on-ball brigade headed by Michael Barlow, whose 32 disposals included 22 contested possessions. His midfield colleagues Nat Fyfe (23 disposals), Stephen Hill (24 touches) and David Mundy (20 possessions) were influential while Nick Suban (two goals) and Hayden Ballantyne were constant attacking threats. Adelaide were effectively kept in the game by Rory Sloane (30 disposals) and Dangerfield's three goals. And Dangerfield was denied another in a controversial video review in the last term when a set shot was given a goal, only for a boundary umpire to say the ball hit the post. After a two-minute discussion between three umpires which infuriated the 27,684-strong crowd, a video review was called. Replays showed the ball brushed a post and the goal was overturned.
