A good question. I agree with Brolga. Local competition is a good thing. It was only a JLT andGeneral question - would you rather your cross-town rival was somewhat competent a la Port, or a basket case a la Freo and probably Gold Coast?
we got smashed by them last time, can't read too much into the Freo loss without "Mr. Supermanbunmodel", and coming off a shorter break. Freo are generally competitive and there have been some great derbies. But I think maybe their brand can't attract the right players. And I'm just tired of listening to the Ross Lyons banter and looking at his mournful face, he is the living embodiment of 'groundhog day'. They need a big shake up, Bell might be the start to it, paving the way for Lyons exit?
