Fremantle’s dirty day in Canberra has only gotten worse with Hayden Young once again struck down with a soft tissue injury.
With the Dockers trailing by 22 points at the final change, their efforts to launch a late fightback copped a hammer blow with Young ruled out with a groin injury.
Having battled a hamstring strain earlier this season, Young was playing his fourth game in a row, something he has not achieved since 2024, having been dogged by soft-tissue injuries.
Young was one of the best performers in an otherwise poor start for Fremantle, but his influence faded as the afternoon went on and he was spotted resting forward at times.
His day was eventually brought to an end after three-quarter time, exiting the game with just one clearance from 10 touches.
It comes after Giants star Lachie Whitfield was forced out of the clash with concussion after copping a stray elbow from Sean Darcy in a marking contest in the second quarter.
The Giants star had been chopping up the Dokcers midfield who have struggled to match the pressure of the Giants around the ball.
