What happened in Fremantle's epic Preliminary Final win?
listener production. This is The Freemantle Clubcast. Grand final week is here. Coming up, Brisbane looming as the final hurdle, selection headaches and a battered nose. Plus, a docker legend gets the nod for the biggest job in purple. But first, Sunday's Triple M rub rewinds that Friday night at the SCG. Erasmus. Around he goes.
Goal!
Three men will get the first. McVean with a spearing pass searching for Amos. Dropped it. Got back up. To his feet. Snaps a miracle. Hayden Young with ball in hand. Tucked away in the left forward pocket. His team trailing by 27 points. That is superb. Now a pass. Gives him the shot. Oscar McDonald goes inside 50. Here's Cole. Well, if it wasn't for last night, I'd be singing from the rooftops about how good that preliminary final was at the SCG Friday night. Guys, can you remember a team that can flick the switch as quickly as Fremantle when it matters most, like we saw in that last quarter on Friday night?
Outside of Brisbane, no. Oh, my. That was such an intriguing game of football. Sydney, if we're happy to start with them, my goodness, like the three quarters of what they produced, the plan that they came out, how they were able to execute, apply maximum pressure, get numbers back, then try and slingshot the other way. Such a combative way to play. is so hard to play for four quarters. They were good enough against the Brisbane Lions to do it. They were good enough for three quarters against Sydney. But the moment that I hope we continue to talk about is the Hayden Young set shot for goal, takes the mark, has to go back, kick it from the junction after the three-quarter time siren. 27 points is the margin.
A point gets you back to 26 clearly in a four-and-a-half kick game. Kicks the goal, 21 points. Do they win still free medal if he misses? I don't think so. No, just because more often than not, if you kick two quick ones, generally the opposition can come back and find a way to get another one. And then that margin continues. They got the two quick ones, but then because the deficit became so short so quickly back to the nine points, you could just see the lift that they gave them and also the energy that it zapped out of Sydney. A remarkable individual performance.
Their coach said that it couldn't have been in better hands than Hayden Young, and we've seen him coming through the AFL draft, and he was always noted as the best field kick coming through. But Sydney's performance, outstanding. Everyone had basically said that they'd played their grand final. In their first final, well, I think it made them even more hungry. The way they come out and pressure it and got after Fremantle and give themselves an opportunity to win that game was outstanding. And you look at some of the players that actually played and some that were obviously out, the five players that were out and also Callum Mills that missed, they're playing with guys like Cootie, Dottoli, Hanley, Kyle, Cleary, guys that no one would have any idea who they are.
So well done to Dean Cox.
So from a Fremantle point of view, they were good enough to find a way to flick it in that last quarter, as you touched on. They've won three quarters of footy, a quarter in each of their finals. Obviously, the Geelong one, they won the first quarter and then were able to hang on. That one, they win in the last quarter. Stevie, have you seen enough? It's a tough way to rely on just producing your best for a small amount of time.
It's enough, but I think this is going to be a very flip of the coin grand final coming up.
Why was Hayden Young’s three‑quarter‑time set shot the turning point?
I think both teams have absolute weapons. I think it's the one and two best lists in the competition. We've been saying that for a long time. You talk about Jackson and their midfield there with Sorong and Brayshaw, Young. It's going to be a bloody good grand final, and I think they're capable. This is their best chance. Would they actually prefer to be playing? Fremantle, would they prefer to be playing Brisbane or Hawthorne, do you think?
I think it's probably a better match-up for Fremantle to take on Brisbane.
