Still bitter about midorigreenwood's declaration the next day? :)

There are varying degrees of Freagles remember.

Some just blatantly barrack for 'the W.A teams', in which case they should obviously list both teams but likely list only the Eagles as many of this type of Freagle are also bandwaggoners and at the moment saying Eagles makes them supporters of the premiers. You know the type, go to Dockers games because they can't get a ticket to Eagles games. Jumped off the Eagles in the Judge years and became Dockers fans when they made the finals in 03'.

Then there are those that are Dockers or Eagles fans who just don't share the hatred for the other. Dockers fans who due to the contribution of many East and South Fremantle people to the Eagles history respect that. Or Eagles fans who perhaps were Sharks or Dogs fans and have respect for the Fremantle football culture but chose not to be fence jumpers when the Dockers were born. In those cases, nope, no second club to be listed, as one club clearly supported, the other just respected. Really, is this type even a Freagle?

Wow, put way too much thought into that....slow day!

I probably almost fit into the second bracket (or used to anyway). I respect Freo's football history being a Sharks man, and when I lived in W.A I was sucked into the 'us against Victoria mentality that 'The West' and some media personalities espouse so well.

However living in Victoria now, it becomes more apparent what it means to be part of a team competition, not a state v state comp mentality. You live here you talk to Hawks fans for example, who if it ain't their team, don't care who it is, rather than simply hoping it's another team from their own state that wins.

In recent times (and I must admit moreso since I joined Big Footy), particularly after the events of the last derby, having any semblance of love for the mob down the road is as likely as wishing a premiership on Essendon.
