Derby Streak Brought To An End | Print |
Written by Shane Richmond   

Freo members are calling for an inquiry into match fixing after one of the worst umpiring displays in a long history of one sided Derby umpiring. The Dockers beat the Eagles everywhere except the scoreboard and the free kick count as their hard tackling went unrewarded, their forwards were left to the mercy of the Eagles unholy whims and the West Coast forward spent so much time falling over it looked like a scene from a Charlie Chaplin film.

There are a lot of things in life that bring a great deal of enjoyment but really shouldn’t. Sneaking up behind someone and smashing an Easter Egg over their head, watching Glen McGrath scon an enthusiastic Irishman on the head and generally anything that involves a pummel horse and a bloke’s groin. But there other things you have every right to enjoy – things like beating the Eagles in a derby. Taking on the over indulged, sanctimonious, up themselves bastards, turning their bizarrely delusional self image upside down and shoving their superiority complex down their well lubricated chardonnay holes. It’s a win for right.

As respected football writer and commentator Robert Walls would tell you, it’s good triumphing over evil. Nothing could be more pure. A Fremantle win over the Eagles is celebrated in the Heavens. ....more
