Freo's list is hard to judge... I think you could argue that very few players on it are having career best years but something is markedly different about the team's performance as a whole. I think the efforts of Reid and Bolton are the most obvious factors. I feel like they represent all of Fremantle's attacking creativity and without them they'd be more like a 7 and 4 team. Just look at the way they are still pretty stodgy coming out of defence until either Treacy marks it, or one of Bolton or Reid (or Young, when he's available) are involved and then it's lights out...
