NINETEEN people in Fremantle have been arrested in the aftermath of the Dockers losing their AFL grand final match.
A crowd of about 40,000 people had packed into the port city home of the team to watch the Saturday event in hotels and pubs.
Among those arrested was a 19-year-old man who has been charged with assault after allegedly becoming involved in a fight while being evicted from the Norfolk Hotel at 7pm (WST).
Police said the young man argued with a 44-year-old man, punched him in the face and caused him to fall and hit his head on a kerb.
The 19-year-old ran away but was chased by police and arrested.
The victim was treated in hospital for a cut on his chin and abrasion to the back of his head.
The accused man is due to appear in the Fremantle Magistrates Court on October 11.
The Sail and Anchor pub closed its upstairs balcony about half-way through the match after some fans misbehaved by tipping beer onto the heads of other patrons.
But police said they were "generally happy" with the behaviour of the crowd, many of whom were devastated by their team's loss to Hawthorn.
A police spokesman told AAP that the number of arrests was not greatly different to a typical Friday or Saturday night in Fremantle.
The 19 arrests included charges of assault, assaulting a public officer, disorderly conduct and obstructing police.
Police also issued 46 move on orders and eight liquor infringements, while four more people will be summonsed for charges including assaulting a public officer and disorderly conduct.
Thousands of fans are expected to attend a welcome home ceremony for the Dockers at Paterson's Stadium later on Sunday.
