From the report

Shaun McManus will be Fremantle’s premiership cup presenter, with the Dockers icon bestowed the honour should the club salute on grand final day.

This is a summary. The indicators are not. The scores were measured over this summary alone, which is less of the article than we would like and makes them less certain.
