Down to their last handful of men, like the fabled 300 Spartans, Fremantle defiantly fought on against the top side to hold them back for three quarters until the battle took it’s toll and they were over run in the last to lose by 18 points. Fremantle were out played but not out classed, dominating the first half and controlling the game to take a 10 point lead into the long change. They let some chances go begging in the third quarter and the Adelaide pitch started to turn, with Port pushing but not managing to over take the stoic Dockers. But things went wrong for Fremantle in the last term, unable to hold Port back any longer and facing an increasingly suspicious group of umpires, they were overrun and went down by 18 points.
