Late drama ensued when with 10 seconds left, Adelaide’s Ben Keays launched a left-footer and the xjmtzywball was headed for a goal, but Fremantle’s seven-gamer Heath Chapman got a desperate fist to the footy to prevent any score.
Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir told Chapman in the changerooms: “It was the best spoil I have seen.”
Crows coach Matthew Nicks said the result has left his players “gutted”.
“I hate losing and I feel for the group and I have probably given them a little bit too much of a spray,” Nicks said.
“But then I give them the love again … I know they have got ticker but I get so frustrated for them.”
