Look out, Wally! Brandon Matera is moving quickly to take the rank of third best footballer from the Matera family, with another match winning bit of goal sneakery to shut the gate on a rapidly approaching GWS Giants. Fremantle looked sharp from the opening bounce, well rested after the week off the seemed to have before the derby last week. They let the Giants know pretty early on that they'd be shutting the game down, blocking up spaces, chasing hard and generally being very shouty and the Giants couldn't really do much to get around it. It was a tight game for most of the day, with Fremantle occasionally skipping ahead before doing something stupid to give away a goal or two, but they held tight in the last quarter, straightened themselves up and made a mockery of any thoughts GWS might have been having about winning any flags.
Fremantle won by 24 points.
