Haven’t worked out where to watch Freo take on Brisbane in Saturday’s big match? Don’t worry, you still have options!
We have compiled a list for the busy people who have left it to the last minute.
Some venues are already sold out, but surprisingly, there are still loads of places to choose from to really get among the finals’ fever including free big screens and pubs across Fremantle and Perth.
There will be free public transport on game day, with road closures over the weekend, from 12pm Friday until 5am Sunday along South Terrace, between Norfolk and Phillimore streets.
Outside Fremantle, there will be free big screens showing the match at Northbridge Piazza Optus Stadium and Yagan Square.
Here’s where you can try your luck in town before the 12.30pm bounce.
