Dockers and Eagles news dominate our sports reporting here as we don’t have rugby league and we only have two teams, so we are very aware of the derby history here hehe.
Yes, valid points. Though balancing that, West Coast have been pretty ordinary over the last couple of months. Losses to North and Collingwood, and a 92 point thumping from us. Not that Fremantle have been much better.

Hopefully, it will be a close contest that the crowd can get into. Sometimes, when I'm not that invested in who wins, I enjoy the crowd going off, more than I enjoy the football.
