You'd have to travel a long way to find a bigger pack of bastards than the Eagles. That had no bearing on the game but it's always worth mentioning. The bastard umpires...well that's another story. Fremantle were unlucky to miss out on the four points, after a combination of terrible umpiring and a dodgy forward line setup saw them fall just 7 points short.

It was a lead they coughed up pretty quickly in the second quarter but, once Michael Johnson finally realised he'd been standing at the wrong end of the ground, they settled back down. They struggled to put multiple goals together though and spent the rest of the day, like Hayden Ballantyne, tantalising short
