There was a sense of optimism about the Fremantle supporters as they crossed the river to get to Subiaco Oval. Not so much about their chances in the match but Saturday afternoon football in Western Australia doesn't come along too often any more. There was a feeling of nostalgia, a feeling not reflected in the price of the hotdogs but a feeling nonetheless, that wallpapered over the current unpleasantness that is often referred to as the 2008 season.

Fremantle are daring to dream after a 53 point thrashing of the premiership fancied Kangaroos has catapulted them above the 2006 Premiership side and within a mathematical chance of the finals. Matthew Pavlich lead from the front, kicking a season high of 8 goals, Jeff Farmer roamed around the ground picking up possessions at will and the Fremantle defence kept the Kangaroos goalless for half the game. With 2 wins now on the board and 10 games remaining, Fremantle can't be discounted for a top 8 finish and many experts, mostly wearing purple shirts and singing loudly, are expecting them to make their traditional late charge at the flag.
