Die Macht » INSMSU 5-8 guard Blair Schaefer has suffered a few bum

Fremantle have finished a horror 2016 season on a high with a memorable farewell of Matthew Pavlich, but coach Ross Lyon stopped short of announcing any further departures from the AFL club.Lyon famously announced the retirements publicly of Michael Gardiner, Steven Baker, Robert Eddy and Andrew McQualter from St Kilda at the end of 2011, but there was no such announcement from the Dockers coach to conclude 2016.It has been a disastrous season for Fremantle, winning just four games on the back of a minor premiership and preliminary final appearance in 2015.But it at least finished on a high with a 20-point victory at Domain Stadium against the finals bound Western Bulldogs on Sunday.It was a day celebrating the career of former captain Pavlich, who played his 354th and final game.Pavlich kicked his 700th goal in the first quarter to cap a career that includes six All-Australian selections and six best-and-fairest awards.Pavlich, who says the right time to retire, was pleased the Dockers finished the season on a winning note.I came here as a 17-year-old who had to mature and learn a lot along the way, and the club and myself have really grown up together, Pavlich said.This year has been challenging but I leave with not one regret and I feel like Ive absolutely emptied the tank.Hopefully this performance can springboard us into a strong pre-season.Given Lyon has been accustomed to coaching teams deep into finals at both St Kilda and Fremantle, an early end means theres no rush to make any decision on the future of players.With up to 20 eligible to play in the WAFL finals with Peel Thunder, what lies ahead for them wont be decided immediately - and that includes the likes of Matt de Boer, Tendai Mzungu, Nick Suban, Anthony Morabito and Clancee Pearce.Theres no urgency on anything. Our players come in 12 oclock Monday. Well have 20 that continue on with Peel Thunder and theyre really committed and theyre enthusiastic, Lyon said.The other guys that will start their annual leave, well have them in Monday, Tuesday. Theres protocols that you need to adhere to.

USC has us on our heels the whole first half. We had 13 turnovers in the first half and only two in the second. But when there is 5 minutes to play, I like our competitiveness and that speaks volumes of our team.Sadie Edwards scored 24 points on 9-for-14 shooting, Kristen Simon had 15 points and Minyon Moore added 14 points, six assists and four steals for the Trojans (8-2), who snapped a six-game winning streak and lost for the first time at home this season.
