With Fremantle ending the 17-game winning streak of reigning premiers Melbourne on their home turf the MCG last weekend, the hype is building the club could land its first AFL flag sooner rather than later.

Millsy at Midday host Steve Mills declared on May 2 the Dockers would win the flag in 2022, saying he was occupying seat 1A on his fictional Freo Express and urging club supporters to also get on board.

Ahead of Sunday's blockbuster clash against Brisbane and the imminent return of captain and dual Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe, Fremantle CEO Simon Garlick told Mills on Wednesday the Dockers were taking the #Flagmantle hysteria in their stride.

"We're bloody excited for all of our supporters, they've been pretty patient over the years, we want them to be as pumped up as they possibly can," Garlick said.
