Then Fremantle claw back a 28-point deficit to break Sydney's hearts and reach their first grand final since 2013. Plus: a season review for the Swans and Hawks, Toby Greene's move to Geelong, and Buddy and Shane's full Brownlow Medal predictions ahead of tonight's count — with Nick Daicos the overwhelming favourite.
