Frederick was the best player on the ground in Freo's comeback win over Hawthorn — kicked match-winning goals in the final quarter and silenced three rounds of cautious verdicts in one afternoon. His 116 reverses the slow-burn trajectory (41, 55, 56) and confirms the role at Fremantle is real. Buy him before the price moves.
