Anyone else slightly bothered by the fact Freo has had the wood over us in Derbies of late? Even winning the first 9 derbies when Freo were a new club, the record is 23 to 20. We really should be much further in front.

We've won 6 of the last 20 derbies. There were two periods when Fremantle won 7 and 6 derbies in a row. It's not like the Eagles were even that much lower on the ladder, and at times better, so what gives? How would you explain our poor record against Freo of late? It's annoying how Freo often seem to lift in the Derby even when they're playing poorly. It's like their Grand Final, the pinnacle of gloating for Freo fans in lieu of an actual GF lol.
 
A thought just flew through between the space between my ears

Quick, better start a thread about it

I'm expecting a thread with an in depth analysis of your zucchini later today Keys

Well, from 2008-2014, We we're generally shit (except 2011, 2012, and Freo made finals in 2012).

Not rocket science, they were just a much better team.

Pretty much this. When Fremantle spend the next few years kicking cans in the bottom 8 while they rebuild we will probably beat them a few times in a row too.

Thread is about Zucchinis now so stop derailing the thread

Im more bothered that are turning bigfooty into your own blog.
 
One pretty easy theory to explain their recent dominance over us is that they built their side around intense pressure on the ball carrier and double teaming opposition KPFs with Dawson/Johnson.

Basically our kryptonite.
