Fremantle are expected to struggle to win the flag this season after being knocked out of the finals by Port Adelaide at Subiaco Oval tonight. Barring some sort of King Ralph style incident at the Preliminary Final photo shoot, the Dockers will finish their season without any silverware and be forced to settle for the 2015 through 2019 flags, in a revisement of the 5 year plan. Freo had Port Adelaide beaten in the first half but they buggered around with the footy in front of goals, kicking 11 points in the opening half to take a 4 goal lead. With no key defenders and Ibbotson busting his arm, the Fremantle back line were always going to be up against the fast finishing Port Adelaide and a 6 goal third quarter from the Power had them back in the game for the last change. Fremantle’s goal kicking skills again abandoned them in the last quarter with another impressive tally of points, while Port dropped in another half a dozen goals to sneak home by 22 points.
