It`s not good!

Before I arrived here today I had a quick look at the new Dockerland site. It`s pretty good too (though yours is better Buzz says she ingratiatingly).

So, I had a read of their message board and was struck again by the depth of ill will that they feel towards anything Eagle.

Apparently, Ben Cousins was doing some special comments on one of the media outlets, and it provoked some outraged comments from a couple of posters. I know that he`s considered a "pretty boy" (ain`t it the truth!!) but surely his ability should at least demand respect.

I truly cannot understand it, even allowing for the two team rivalry and the fact that we do sometimes get into some debate on their board, surely talent is talent no matter what colour jumper it wears.

Remember we are discussing football and alot of comments about other teams that appear harsh are really just bravado and tongue firmly in cheek.

I've already heard some cracks about Croad and Longmuir, but it is best just to smile and let it slide.

Yes any AFL follower would like to have Cuz in their team, same as Wayne Carey a couple of years ago, but does that stop opposition supporters giving them heaps. It means they're noticed.

I love it....WC V Freo rivalry is just a part of the game.

This rivalry is as big as Carlton vs Collingwood...and its true, no matter how good Freo do, I will never note it, only look in the bad. Yes, I am a WA person, but if Freo made it to a GF (And I dont think I will see it in my lifetime) expect me to barrack for the other side.....

I admit, I depise the frockers, but thats because of the rivalry and other reasons too......
