00:02Our crowds have started to gather here in Fremantle. We are expecting 40,000 people here on the streets later
00:08today, but I have something I really want to show you over here. Check out this poodle, decked out in
00:15Dockers colours. Has they even got the jersey on the back of the poodle here. Hello! Who's this? What's his
00:23name?
00:23This is Chester. Is Chester a Dockers fan? He is indeed. He's an absolute Dockers fan.
00:31Hello! He's very excited about the game today. Is this a fresh hair job?
00:38Yes, it is a fresh hair job. He doesn't do this all year round. For this part of the year,
00:45absolutely. We've got to bring him home and he's the man to do it.
00:49Oh, very vocal for his support. We hope the Rio Dockers can hear those cheers from the MCG. And I'm
00:55coming around. We've got some of our very first fans getting the best seats in the house. Shane, I hear
01:00you've got a hotel nearby just so you could get close to the big screen here.
01:04Yeah, so we made sure we got down here yesterday. Up at 5, down here at 5.30 to get
01:09the best spot. So, had to do it for the boys and bring the cup home.
01:14How are you feeling about this grand final? I know for Fremantle fans, it's tense.
01:19Yeah, look, it's going to be close. I think maybe with a bit of rain over there, it's going to
01:23be in the favour of the boys. And I'm tipping three goals by the Dockers. Absolutely. Yeah.
01:30What will this mean to you if they can get their first ever grand final premiership flag?
01:35I mean, we'll hear last time when they're in the finals. We're here again. It would mean so much. I
01:40know we've got family coming down to join us very soon. We've got my wife's family over there in Melbourne
01:46at the moment. And they're, you know, super excited in their 80s. It would mean a lot to us and
01:53our family.
01:54Definitely. And Fremantle is expected to be, well, it already is painted purple, but it is expected to have huge
02:01crowds down here. Now, there are four of these LED screens across Fremantle. It's meant to be an alcohol-free,
02:08family-friendly event. We do expect a huge police presence here as well.
02:12We've got Riot Squad, the horses and the canines coming here after an impromptu street party after that amazing fourth
02:19quarter in the preliminary final exploded onto the streets here. Thousands of people were chanting MCG. And if Fremantle can
02:26win its first premiership flag, we do expect it to be huge celebrations again.
