Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir is confident Hayden Young has "dodged a bullet" on the injury front despite the star midfielder suffering a big scare during Thursday night's nine-point win over Geelong.
Young hurt his right knee while being tackled to the ground midway through the third quarter of the 14.15 (99) to 14.6 (90) win at Optus Stadium.
The 55,201-strong crowd groaned in unison when Young got up and could barely put any weight on his right leg after the tackle.
The 25-year-old gingerly limped from the field before undergoing a thorough assessment of his knee.
Young was eventually given the all clear to return, finishing the game with 15 disposals and three clearances.
Despite the quiet performance, the fact Young was able to play out the match is a big win for Fremantle following the midfielder's string of injury setbacks over the past 18 months.
