Fremantle Dockers supporter, Andrew Hastie has denied allegations he ordered the activation of Wharfie Time, insisting there’s no way he could have pressed the button because he was “on the other side of the room”.

The premature blast of Hells Bells came with Fremantle 17 points up and under four minutes remaining, somehow inspiring Brisbane to one of the greatest Grand Final comebacks. The tradition had previously been used when the Dockers were chasing games, making its use while comfortably in front even harder to explain.
Already jokingly branded a traitor over everything from hate speech votes to Ben Roberts-Smith, Hastie now faces his most serious allegation yet: confusing the Dockers into thinking the premiership was already won.
