I've been a West Coast Eagles fan since they entered the competition back in 87 or so. This year they absolutely SUCK but shit happens I guess. So just for this year I'm all aboard the Freo train for the flag.
Interesting side note - my brother put a $100 2 leg bet on before the season started - Fremantle Dockers to win the flag and their midfielder Andrew Brayshaw to win the Brownlow medal (competition fairest and best). Sportsbet are currently offering to pay him out now over a grand. If it comes in he's getting paid out about $66,000 I believe.
This is one of my favourite sporting moments ever.
I went to a lot of Crows games in the 90s with my folks, who are still season tickets holders.
For whatever reason, after marginal interest for a long time. I really got into watching this season and had a blast (well, right up until our chance at making the 8 was cruelly denied...)
I went to a game for the first time in over ten years today. Gosh it’s nice how quickly play moves along compared to the stop and start of American sports.
