Fremantle is forging a new reputation in the AFL.
Sunday's come-from-behind win over Carlton was another hat-tip to the Dockers, who are seemingly finding new ways to bank all-important premiership points.
The Dockers have made a habit of winning this season. In the past 11 weeks, they've sung the song 10 times.
However, this wasn't always the case. Last year, Justin Longmuir's men butchered a golden opportunity to press for a maiden premiership, sitting third after Round 20.
Instead, a dramatic downfall saw the Dockers lose winnable clashes against Essendon (one point), Geelong (11 points), GWS (nine points) and Port Adelaide (20 points).
"There's a couple of learning opportunities there that will burn in pre-season and shine a light on how we're going to get better," Longmuir said, following the season-ending loss to the Power in Round 24.
"You can't fault [the players'] effort. They've played three top-four sides the last three weeks, and a bit of me thinks we should have won all of them.
"But we didn't, because we couldn't execute well enough. We didn't stand up in big moments, and we didn't execute those moments well enough.
"We've got to use this disappointment now to be able to frame up how we approach the off-season, how we approach next pre-season, and how we embrace the grind of getting better."
An aggressive off-season approach saw the club land forward-midfield star Shai Bolton, as well as smalls Isaiah Dudley and Murphy Reid, who have made significant impacts.
But the improvement has largely come from within, and Longmuir's willingness to play a more attacking brand, whilst maintaining a strong defensive profile.
As of early August, the Dockers sit sixth for points against in the competition, which is consistent with the past few seasons.
On the flip side, they sit ninth in points scored, and throughout their incredible run, they have piled on the goals, never dipping below 73 points.
But more importantly, they have found new ways to win, which is something they struggled to do in recent years.
On Sunday, Fremantle trailed Carlton by four goals late in the first quarter. The week before, they kicked the final four goals against Collingwood to turn a 22-point deficit in the final term into a six-point victory. The same goes for Hawthorn the week earlier, trailing by 13 points before a four-goal onslaught secured a momentous win.
They also trailed against St Kilda at three-quarter time and came out victorious.
These results take more than just talent. It takes mental resolve and a willingness to never say die, which is what the past two premiers have embodied.
Brisbane faced a lengthy injury list and finished fifth, bouncing back from the heartbreak of the 2023 grand final loss with a premiership win in 2024. Before that, Collingwood won three finals by under a goal to lift the cup aloft.
"Our maturity is just allowing us to stay a bit more connected, a bit more present, and not internalising in those moments (when behind)," Longmuir said after the 27-point win over the Blues.
"We've been able to work through a lot of these situations throughout the year, where we've been down at three-quarter time and had to come from behind, or in front and had to hold on, or today when we were down by 22 points, and we were just able to grind it out.
"I don't think we're winning that game at the start of last year, or even the year before."
Fremantle's fortunes hinge on their performance in the last three weeks of the season, which is a familiar spot.
Saturday's match-up against Port Adelaide could bring up old wounds as the Power kept the Dockers from finals last year with a 20-point win at Optus Stadium in Round 24.
But clashes against fellow contenders, Brisbane and the Western Bulldogs, pose a difficult fortnight ahead, and will provide a crucial indicator of what Fremantle will achieve in 2025.
