There were no resurrections, saving of the righteous or Easter miracles for Fremantle in their trip to the SCG this year, although there defense was quite holy at times. Fremantle fought out a classical SCG scrapfest, where space is hard to come by and football is always the loser but it was the Swans who took the chocolates, with Fremantle struggling to kick goals and failing to stop the Swans from doing it at the other end. The Dockers couldn’t score a goal in the second quarter and took their time about it in the third, falling six goals behind before finally kicking into gear to kick some late goals. Within striking distance in the last quarter, Fremantle let the Swans kick a couple of early ones before dobbing three in a row to build some excitement but they couldn’t go on with it and finished 17 points the lesser side. On a positive note, Fremantle hard man Nat Fyfe did not hospitalise anyone in his return from suspension and, as yet, has not been reported.
