Fremantle recruit Jeremy Sharp spent four seasons at Gold Coast searching for a place to call home.
He looks to have found one on the Dockers’ wing just three games in at his new club.
Sharp, 22, a day-one signing in the pre-season supplemental selection period, has not only filled the offensive void left by Liam Henry’s departure to St Kilda, he might have added an important defensive layer.
Sharp has tallied more than 400 metres gained in each game, hit regular targets inside 50, and his work dipping back in defence and up and down a wing has bee a feature of the club’s three-win start to the season.
Against Brisbane in his club debut he produced a 72.2 per cent disposal efficiency, improving it to 84.6 against North Melbourne in round two and on Friday night against Adelaide, in a game where errors by foot and hand were the norm, Sharp went at 86.
But for Sharp it’s not about the numbers, but the number of times he can help his team.
“It is a bit of an unforgiving role out there,” Sharp told ABC Radio.
