AFL:No room for doubt as Dockers star reaches new heights

Fremantle star Jye Amiss insists he never doubted a 'three-headed monster' would fire in attack, ignoring critics of his side's tall forward-line as it fought through growing pains.

The Dockers (11-1) underlined their flag credentials when dismantling reigning premiers Brisbane last week, with Amiss, Patrick Voss and Josh Treacy combining for 11 of their 15 goals.

Fremantle's star forward trio have all regularly hit the scoreboard during a club-record 11-game winning streak, with Amiss (30 goals) and Treacy (28) among Coleman Medal contenders.

Critics had questioned Justin Longmuir's preference for three talls in attack when the Dockers failed to win a final last season, with the coach also regularly picking two recognised ruckmen.

But Amiss, who admitted it took time to adjust to the set-up, never doubted it would work or worried about his spot in the side after former Essendon rookie-listed forward Voss's arrival in 2024.
