Fremantle Dockers season ends in premiership heartbreak

The Fremantle Dockers experienced a historic but ultimately heartbreaking season, characterized by significant highs and lows. Despite a strong run of form throughout the year, the club missed out on its maiden premiership, losing the title in the final minutes of the grand final to the Geelong Cats.

Key moments of the season included a demolition of the Melbourne Demons and a victory over the Adelaide Crows led by captain Alex Pearce. Other notable performances featured Jordan Clark winning the Glendinning-Allen Medal during the Western Derby and a winning streak that included a Len Hall tribute match against Carlton at Optus Stadium.
