Fyfe chaired off in final game
Emotional scenes as Nathan Fyfe is chaired off to cap his incredible AFL career.
Two Brownlow Medals and a lock to join the Australian football Hall of Fame the moment he becomes eligible.
The bittersweet side: Nathan Fyfe's career is over
Classy from the Suns who line up to cheer off Nat Fyfe as he is chaired off of Optus Stadium by Luke Ryan and Alex Pearce.
The end of an unbelievable career.
David Swallow speaks
Swallow: "I thought I lost us the game when I turned that ball over a couple of minutes earlier. To have that moment and for us to get over the line is pretty cool."
"Pure joy mate. Shout out to all my teammates, everyone who has worked so hard. In front of my home crowd in Perth. I can't believe it.
"I didn't think I had the leg in me."
FULL TIME
"The agony and the ecstasy of sport!" says commentator Dwayne Russell.
Gold Coast defeats Fremantle 80-79 in THE GAME OF THE YEAR.
David Swallow is the hero in his first ever final. What a finish.
It's actually a behind!
The score review overturns the goal. It was touched on the mark. But the Suns lead by one point anyway.
Now the Dockers must take the ball the full length of the field in nine seconds.
And they're out of time - Gold Coast wins.
DAVID SWALLOW
David Swallow wins a free kick for being held without the footy. This is his fairy tale moment...
He KICKS THE GOAL! Gold Coast leads by six points with nine seconds left.
Neil Erasmus is claiming it was touched off the mark. A point wins it for Gold Coast anyway, so it hardly matters.
"You couldn't have written a script like this," Jordan Lewis says.
Mac Andrew ties it up!
Uwland takes a big intercept mark and sends it back inside 50 for the Suns and Mac Andrew marks!
Their million-dollar man, with 80 seconds left on the clock, ties the scores back up!
And we are 1:14 away from extra time!
Luke Jackson puts the Dockers in front
An enormous contested mark from Luke Jackson deep inside 50 and Fremantle takes the lead 79-73.
The Optus Stadium crowd has exploded. This game has been flipped on its head.
What a game.
Scores. Are. Level.
A rushed behind for the Dockers and scores are tied at 73.
Remember, if this is a draw on the final siren, we are going to extra time.
Two three-minute halves if it comes to that.
We haven't seen extra time in a final since West Coast and Port Adelaide in 2017.
