Season

After a narrow loss away to Geelong in the first round, the Dockers won their next 14 consecutive matches, the longest winning streak ever by a major West Australian sporting club.

Fremantle ultimately finished the season first on the ladder, securing the minor premiership with a round to spare. They finished with a club record 19 win and 4 loss season, and were unbeaten at home.

After losing their Qualifying Final to Hawthorn, Fremantle won their next two finals to reach the AFL Grand Final for only the club's second time.

In the Grand Final, the scores were level at half time after a tight first half. Fremantle moved out to a 10-point lead at three-quarter time, and extended their advantage to 17 points with just over four minutes to play. After the stadium played the Wharfie Time crowd activation sound on the big screen, Brisbane responded by kicking the next four goals to win by seven points and claimed their third consecutive premiership.
