A rich history will be left behind when Domain Stadium closes its doors to AFL football in the next few weeks.

Fremantle's last-ever clash at the old Subiaco Oval will be against Richmond this Sunday.

In the 543 games played so far at Domain Stadium, more than 18 million spectators have witnessed some unforgettable clashes, including Western Derby classics, intense finals, wild brawls and after-the-siren thrillers. 

AFL.com.au writer Travis King has run through 16 of the greatest moments in Domain Stadium history.

Freo's first derby win

Round 16, 1999, West Coast v Fremantle
After nine-straight derby losses Fremantle had had enough. Star forward Tony Modra led the way, booting six goals on Ashley McIntosh, including a freakish effort from the pocket in the third quarter. An elated Modra slamming both hands onto the ground after the ball sailed through the big sticks ranks among the most famous derby moments. Adrian Fletcher (39 disposals) and Jason Norrish (32) were also outstanding, while Brad Wira's third goal was the gamebreaker and his 'aeroplane' celebration started the party. Freo fans were dancing in the rain as the Dockers ran out 47-point winners.

Demolition Derby

Round 21, 2000, Fremantle v West Coast
Fremantle might have broken the drought the previous year but this was the day the crosstown rivalry really took off. We are, of course, referring to the 'Demolition Derby', the most infamous of the 46 contests played at Subiaco. The Eagles destroyed Freo by a record 117 points in the first derby of the season and the men in purple drew a line in the sand. It was on before the opening bounce, with Matthew Pavlich and Michael Gardiner sparring in the goalsquare. Dale Kickett and Phil Read went toe-to-toe in several stoushes. Four players were suspended for 15 matches – Kickett copped a nine-week ban for three separate striking charges – and 11 players were fined for their part in some ugly brawls. Often forgotten is that Freo trailed by seven goals in the third term but came back to clinch a one-point victory, with Clive Waterhouse booting seven majors in his best game for Freo.

McManus crunched by Wirrpanda

Round 4, 2001, Fremantle v West Coast 
So many of the greatest Subiaco highlights occurred in clashes between the two WA clubs. Pride and bragging rights were always at stake, and players were willing to lay their bodies on the line for the cause. Freo hero Shaun McManus typified that courage when he charged with the flight of a skied Andrew Shipp kick, never taking his eyes off the ball despite Eagles backman David Wirrpanda coming like a freight train in the opposite direction. The collision was sickening. McManus was ironed out but paid the mark in the pocket and, after wobbling to his feet, kicked an inspirational goal. Freo lost by 24 points but McManus' bravery has never been forgotten.

Finals positions on the line

Round 22, 2003, West Coast v Fremantle
This was one of the most important derbies ever played, with the right to host a home final on the line as the crosstown rivals slugged it out in the last round. West Coast was sitting in fifth, while Fremantle– locked in for their first finals series – were equal on 13 wins but in eighth spot. West Coast led by four points at half-time but Freo gained the ascendancy after a six-goal third quarter. Paul Hasleby racked up 29 disposals and booted a goal to claim the second of his three Ross Glendinning Medals, while Daniel Kerr's weaving, five-bounce run from half-back and 45m major in the dying stages won him goal of the year. Fremantle held on to win by 14 points, booking a historic first home final against Essendon.

Longmuir after the siren

Round 21, 2005 Fremantle v St Kilda
It was a rare Friday night game for Fremantle and they didn't disappoint against top-four St Kilda. Trailing by 16 points at the last change, Freo rallied and was within five points with 30 seconds remaining when Luke McPharlin bombed long with a 'Hail Mary' inside 50. On cue, Justin Longmuir soared across a pack and held onto a spectacular one-grab mark 20m out from goal, sending the Purple Army into raptures. Amid the chaos, 'J-Lo' calmly split the middle with his after-the-siren kick, sparking frenzied celebrations as he ran and leapt into the crowd. 

Judd's heroics not enough

Round 6, 2006, Fremantle v West Coast
Not every derby can be squeezed onto this list and - with apologies to the 2011 classic when Hayden Ballantyne hit the post after the siren in a one-point Fremantle loss – we have plumped for this beauty when the Eagles and Fremantle were both top-four sides. It was a four-quarter arm-wrestle decided in the final minute when derby hero Paul Hasleby converted a set shot and sealed a five-point victory. The win came in the aftermath of Freo's 'Sirengate' debacle in Launceston and was eventual premier West Coast's only loss in the opening 11 rounds.

Dockers reach their first decider

Preliminary final, 2013, Fremantle v Sydney
Asked this week what his personal highlights at Domain Stadium were, Fremantle coach Ross Lyon nominated this clash for obvious reasons. This was peak Fremantle under Lyon. Freo suffocated the Swans in an extraordinary display of team pressure, and romped to a 54-point lead midway through the final term as they booked their maiden Grand Final appearance. The 43,249-strong crowd was the second-biggest Freo crowd at Domain Stadium, and the 'Purple Haze' travelled in huge numbers to Melbourne the following week.
