The Fremantle Football Club have never had a night like this. They’ve never been forced this deep down the well to win a big game. They’ve never had so much thrown at them. They’ve never been in such a hostile environment. They’ve never, in a big game, flipped so quickly from a meek, nervy, fumbly team to an offensive powerhouse.
All year they have demonstrated that they can run out games well, and that they can slam on a lot of goals in a short amount of time. They were awful here in the first half. But they showed signs of life after the main break. Some hard-fought stoppage wins culminated in a superb Jye Amiss goal, before Luke Jackson marked a dump kick and converted from 50m. But Sydney cancelled the two goals out immediately.
