Not sure what happened to Souths that day. Souths were very good over the year and had Claremonts measure on a couple of occasions, notably the 2nd Semi final. Going into the finals Claremont had lost their last game to East Fremantle. After losing the 2nd Semi many in the footy media were saying Claremont were done and East Freo would win the prelim and it'd be a Derby Grand Final. That didn't happen thankfully. I think on the day Claremont were just a bit too experienced at playing finals footy and Souths were overawed.
