Fremantle secured their place in the AFL grand final after a dramatic comeback victory against the Sydney Swans at the SCG. The match concluded with a final score of 12.11 (83) to 10.11 (71).

For much of the contest, Sydney appeared to be in control, holding a 27-point lead late in the third quarter. However, the momentum shifted significantly in the final term as Fremantle mounted a late surge. Fremantle scored six consecutive goals to overtake the Swans, effectively ending Sydney's season. A pivotal moment occurred when Hayden Young converted a difficult set shot immediately following the three-quarter time siren, which helped ignite the team's late-game momentum.

With this result, Fremantle advances to the grand final, where they are set to face the winner of the match between Hawthorn and Brisbane. This marks only the second time in the club's history that they have reached the league's final stage. The loss marks the end of the season for Sydney, who were unable to defend their lead during the final quarter despite their strong performance through the first three periods of play.
