To celebrate the final year of footy at Domain Stadium Carlton Mid have released their ‘Cans of Honour’.
The Cans of Honour immortalise six of the greatest footy moments from Domain Stadium including moments from the WAFL days before WA had teams in the AFL (then VFL).
Matthew Pavlich has his own can commemorating the Freo legend’s last game for the club in round 23, 2016 while another can celebrates Freo’s first derby win in round 16, 1999.
The ‘Cans of Honour’ are now available to purchase in bottles shops throughout WA.
Read below to learn the stories depicted on two of the ‘Cans of Honour’.
Pav’s Swan Song
The Freo Dockers sent a champion of the game off in style in front of a packed house at Subiaco Oval, beating eventual premiers of the Bulldogs in the final game of the 2016 AFL Premiership Season. Pav’s last goal took his career tally to a staggering 700 goals in 353 games.
Freo Steps Into The Limelight
After nine straight losses in the Western Derby, the Freo Dockers finally stepped into the limelight, thrashing the Eagles by 47 points at Subiaco Oval. Tony Modra stole the show, famously thumping his hands on the turf after a mercurial third quarter goal.
