The truth of the matter is, the dockers were EXTREMELY jealous of the Eagles from the moment the dockers joined the AFL. They knew that to be taken seriously they would have to do a "West Coast" and win the premiership in their first 5-8yrs.
Due to MANY coaching blunders (Neesham & Mcleod), drafting catastrophes (take your pick) and general inability to get much right on or off the field, the dockers made the decision to start emulating a lot that the Eagles do so the dockers could start on their path to success. So they started to get a team together that would beat the Eagles, because if you can beat a successful team you become a successful team. (Don't you??
)
So from the early beginnings of the new millennium the dockers began their new quest. Put together a team that will beat the Eagles.
At the beginning of 2006 they saw the fruits of their labour, they beat the Eagles in a close match. The dockers had arrived.
Now that the current dockers have had a few victories over the Eagles as well as won their first final, the common belief is that they are top 4 certainties.
People do not be fooled by the hype. The dockers have always been wannabe's. No heart, no soul, no belief and too few players with legitimate talent.
Their team that has been put together to beat the Eagles may actually do it again this week. If they do, do not let it persuade you that they are still genuine contenders.
