I never heard that one, very symbolic. I was a bit traumatised that week, I couldn't believe how so many businesses and people came out of the woodwork and started supporting the jetty lickers. Everywhere I went there were inflatable anchors. They even hired a rock act who turned up in the CBD. It was delightful to see them crumble.
In 2015 I was expecting the whole city to embrace the Eagles but it wasn't at the same level. My mate put it well, he said thay everyone expects the Eagles to make the grand final every few years so it's not that exciting. For Freo, 2013 might have been a once in 50 years event.
