What were the key moments that defined Fremantle’s 12‑point win over Sydney?
Kane and King. Well, the other game, which has been a little bit overlooked because of how good Saturday Twilight was, but it was just as compelling on Friday night as Sydney looked home for all money, and then Hayden Young slotted one from the boundary on three-quarter time with one of the best prelim final goals you will see to give them a sniff. And then the last quarter was just a domination from the men in purple. 24 entries to six, they kick five goals. Goals four to one point and they are through with a lot of relief to a grand final Kingy. Uh there's a lot to discuss. I know you were there, I know you did it. I know you did a walk and talk with your shirt on, which I was a bit disappointed with after the game, but uh what are your first thoughts as you've sat on this for a couple of days?
W the walk and talk wasn't my idea. You know I do I'd I liked it though.
No, well I thought it was great content. Uh I just thought you were a coward and you should have had your top off.
Oh no, all right. Um He's just unstoppable, Luke Jackson, isn't he?
How did Hayden Young’s third‑quarter goal shift the momentum of the game?
Grundy and Jackson was a was a terrific battle to watch.
Great man.
And I thought Grundy held sway for the in parts of that second quarter, but in the end you look back and you say, Everything every time something positive is happening for Freeman, it involves this guy. Um so I uh his ability to g to hit the scoreboard is is is unparalleled with Ruckman. He's he's um he corrected the a few of their reels, but This game as i if you compare the two games, Cornsy, I reckon the mistakes stood out on Saturday night and you went, Oh, that's uh that's not in the flow of play. Whereas on the Friday night, if someone did something well, you went, Oh yeah, yeah, that now that's different to what's been happening all game. It was a cl it was a clumsy game. It was a lot of uh error riddled uh.
Average early. Yeah. Freer. They didn't co they didn't cope. And there was some ordinary stuff. Now I don't know how they I don't know how they review that.
Why do Kane and Kingy consider Luke Jackson’s performance ‘unstoppable’?
Do you do you look at the lack of contest stuff early and those that got pushed under the ball again from their forwards? Mason Cox, Oscar McDonald was vulnerable behind the ball. Murphy Reed was was really poor. Do you look at that? Or do you just want to feel good about yourself going into it ground? I don't know what approach they'll take.
Oh well, I think their biggest problem is is Josh Tracy. He's taken one mark inside fifty for three weeks. The last three weeks. One mark inside fifty. We've talked about this this thr uh three headed monster for for for months. Um yeah, McCartan, O'Sullivan, Battle, they've all they're all good uh opposition, no doubt about that. I'm not not being too hard on him, but they just need more from him. He was the forty sixth rated player on the field on Friday night. Mm.
What mistakes and error‑filled periods stood out for Sydney on Friday night?
So I i th they've got to get him going again. He doesn't he doesn't look as uh physically imposing as at the moment as what he has at different points throughout the season. Now, I don't know if he's carrying an injury, but you know what, this is a grand final this week, so we're not even gonna talk about that.
Yep. They butchered the ball, uh, which which didn't help, but it's more the look of it that you're talking about. It's more his aura. It's more his contest. He's getting pushed under the ball shifted for the second time in three finals. Yeah, shifted just off off the line. He doubled down on how tall they were forward of the ball, which was was strange. The three weren't working. Ball use a factor into that, but then he's doubled down with Jackson forward, which worked for one goal early, but then it was Cox for I just think Too tall. Um in big finals it's not often the talls that will get you. Uh but just shout out to their big time players, Fremantle, who completely lifted.
How did Fremantle’s ‘big‑time’ players like Brayshaw, Young and Jackson impact the final quarter?
Brayshaw was huge, Sarong, ten clearances, eight score involvements, huge. Young, magnificent. Jackson you spoke of, Bolton you mentioned after the game in that walk and talk. All their big time players came to play when it mattered most.
