Fremantle prepares for AFL finals as Dockers secure minor premiership
The Fremantle Dockers are preparing for a historic AFL finals campaign after securing a minor premiership with one game remaining. As the team sits at the top of the ladder, the City of Fremantle is organizing community celebrations to support the club.
Local authorities plan to turn the Cappuccino Strip purple using road markings, bunting, balcony banners, and tree wraps. Mayor Ben Lawver stated the initiative aims to bring the community together and reflect local pride. If the Dockers reach the grand final, the city intends to host a major live site on the strip featuring big screens for fans.
Local businesses are also participating in the festivities, including a window display competition. The Federal Hotel has announced it will expand into the Paddy Troy Mall during the finals to increase capacity, allowing up to 2,000 fans to gather in the heart of the city.
