When I took these photos there was a great feeling of excitement, anticipation and everyone, well almost was willing The Fremantle Dockers to bring the CUP back to Freo.

| This was just a small proportion of the crowd, there were just as many on the other side of the double screen. |

Alas it was not to be. The Hawks (Hawthorne) dug in early and put a few good goals on the board and though Freo fought hard, and even managed to get within three points for a brief period; it proved just too hard a task to claw their way over the top of the gold and brown who had tasted Grand Final defeat only last year.
Let's hope Freo live up to Pav's promise to make it back next year and like the Hawks, take the hard road to win CUP.
I'm sure anyone who watched the game would not only congratulate the winners, but also The Fremantle Dockers.
Footnote: The crowd that descended on Fremantle was estimated to be around 40 000.
