FREMANTLE will need to find a way to sustain its defensive pressure when the interchange cap of 120 rotations per game is introduced in 2014.   

The Dockers averaged the most interchanges per game during 2013, topping the table with 146 per game.

Freo was one of five AFL clubs that topped the 140-interchange average mark during 2013 ahead of Adelaide (144.1), Greater Western Sydney (142), Hawthorn (141.7) and Geelong (140.7).

Fremantle did not have fewer than 146 interchanges per game from round 19 until it reached the Grand Final.

However, in the Grand Final it made just 129 interchanges, its third lowest single tally for the season. 

The Dockers had 163 interchanges in both round 20 and round 22 as they tried to share the load leading into the finals series.
