Veteran Shaun McManus sung Fremantle's victory song from the middle of the team's player circle but his coach Mark Harvey says the midfielder is still undecided when he'll retire from the game.
The Dockers' exciting 28-point win over the Power at AAMI Stadium on Sunday could've been the perfect farewell for McManus who has indicated he'll leave the game at some stage this season.
But Harvey said he thought the individual post-match celebration was an act of appreciation rather than resignation.
"I think he's enjoying his last couple of games and I think that's where it's at. I think he enjoys the camaraderie and he obviously knows it's coming to an end at some stage," Harvey said.
"I think every win we have from here on in, every minute, every hour he spends with the guys from a training and game point of view he's enjoying and so is his team-mates."
"It's a week-by-week thing. Shaun is fairly keen on calling it a day when he wants to call it a day and that's where it's at."
The victory may have also held special significance for two Dockers players at different stages in their career.
South Australian-born Byron Schammer made his 100th game a memorable one thanks a 27-possession performance.
The 23-year-old said he enjoyed posting his milestone in front of family and friends.
"To come out and lead and show initiative, to get to the front and to be challenged and then rise to the occasion again shows you that younger players are starting evolve and gel as a whole team unit," he said.
Schammer, who notched up just seven games last season, said he was keen to make his mark in 2008.
"I've really had a steely resolve to become a quality midfielder. I've got a 100 games experience and really wanted to use that to the best of my ability," he said.
And the game may have marked a new era for ruckman Robbie Warnock after Harvey intimated the 21-year-old had re-signed with the Dockers.
"We might already be into that stage," Harvey said.
Warnock collected just seven disposals and nine hit-outs against the Power but Harvey said he was pleased how he and Aaron Sandilands were working in tandem.
Meanwhile Harvey said the players showed great character in beating the Power, especially after surrendering the lead in the third quarter.
"The boys have been putting in a lot of effort to redeem what's been a pretty frustrating year and are starting to see the rewards now albeit too late," he said.
"To see us fight that situation off was pleasing. We speak about the spirit and the ethos of the footy club, what we want to stand for and moments like that present themselves in a game where we've got to extend what we do and we did that today."
