This is our 11th year. The entertainment value over the years watching and supporting Fremantle is 2nd to none.


How about these gems.

Umpire takes mark.
Umpire celebrates Freo win.
Crowd do mexican wave.
Players crowd surf.
Supporters chant for team after losing 1st final.
Supporters jeer loudest ever. (saints 05)
White strip.
Player has to borrow money to pay melee fine after 1st game.
Singing at railway platforms and on train. (saints 05)

Probably some other gems but thats about all I can think of.

Honestly why support any other team. Even without the silverware you get it all at Fremantle.

Yeah , I went to the Shops in Kenwick on Saturday morning with my Dockers jacket and everyone in the store was still raving on about the game except for one Sainter sooking about the umpires.

No doubt about it the excitement factor we generate is exceptional.

No wonder the other mob are doing all they can to stop us getting a home final, they still remember how excited the place got in 2003.

Our fate for 05 could yet be decided by the last game of the last fixtured round of 2005. In a game we will not be participating on.

As for last Friday I reckon we would have picked up a few thousand fence sitters as supporters not to mention the supporters who will take up membership next year. I know of 3 myself.

It boggles the mind what it would be like if we ever got a decent team together and had a couple of fair dinkum runs at the flag.

We'd make the slime look like the Western Bulldogs.

Fortunately, silverware is the tangible measure of footballing success..........just ask Collingwood.
Surely Dasler, you must be feeling the need to go home to Freo. We're all Freo boys first and last arent we ??? :D

I would say about 500,000 West Coast supporters have come across to be Dockers supporters since 1995. But there would be approximately a dozen have gone the other way .. The rest will come when they have matured enough and see the light ..
