Fans have travelled from all over Australia to see the Fremantle Dockers down the Melbourne Demons in Alice Springs.

Thousands rocked up to Traeger Park on Sunday June 2, to watch the game on a day with perfect weather conditions.

Plenty of Western Australians flew or drove in to support the Dockers, with an equally strong cohort in attendance from Victoria for the Demons.

Other fans travelled hundreds of kilometres from within the Territory to see the action, with Darwinites, Katherine locals, and more than dozens from remote communities in attendance.
