Fremantle have always been a team that craves the big stage and with fans flocking from around the world to see Matthew Pavlich play game 300, they turned on the party tricks to humiliate Geelong, once again, and delight their hordes of supporters. The game opened with Matthew Pavlich slotting through a goal with a banana kick from the Matthew Pavlich stand, which was quite well received by the crowd, and continued with Fremantle slamming home 5 opening quarter goals to Geelong’s zero, including Matthew Pavlich’s 600th goal - again, quite well received. Once Fremantle had the Cats on the ropes, they kept pounding away, crushing their spirits with the traditional mid game strangle (not to be confused with Hayden Ballantyne mid-game dacking) before kicking on to win by a very tidy 32 points and rocket back up the ladder, poised to take back their spot in the top 4.
