We’ve been hoodwinked! All this time everyone’s been telling us that Grand Finals are hard to get into but Fremantle have just waltzed into one against Hawthorn, barely raising a sweat to roll the Swans after putting on a clinic in Geelong a couple of weeks before that, with a weekend off in the middle. It turns out it’s harder getting into Sandrino.
The Dockers showed a few nerves early in the game, not so much because they were playing for a spot in the Grand Final but it was quite windy and there are a lot of sharp metal things poorly attached to Subiaco Oval, the result was that Sydney still had hope at quarter time. That didn’t last long. Fremantle had put a fork in the Swans’ season by halftime and locked up a spot in the Grand Final.
Next week they’ll head over to Melbourne for the last game of the season. Apparently the locals like to make a bit of an event of the thing but Fremantle will just fly in, take the bloody cup off them and fly out again.
