Western Derby

[materamagic]

It is going to be huge.

 

[sinepari]

How huge?

 

[Ruddiger]

I'm heading there via the Vic from work

It will be a good game for sure, though this doesn't have as much riding on it for us as Derby 18 in 2003. For Freo, this one means a lot more.

We've improved since Derby 21 earlier this year and we'll have Stenglein and Seaby available this time. I'd say we'll win, but it will be close.

I saw a clip of mark of the year in 2005, which was Luke McPharlin against us in the first derby of 2005. It looked like we lost, so I thought I'd check the scores to find out what occured, only to discover that is was an absolute belter of a game and an awesome comeback.

It featured Eagles coming back from 21 points down, Freo surging to almost re-take it and a whole lot of aggro between two teams that genuinely hated each other. I miss the derbies of this era, Freo had so many punch-able heads (Carr brothers, Farmer, Kickett, Black, Spud-McManus) and we had the best midfield of all time.

I went to this game. Dockers home game. The Freo supporters in front of us threw their dip platter at an Eagles supporter sitting in front of them during the last qtr when it was clear we would win and nearly started a fight. Sore loser family.

Can’t believe that was Graham’s first game. Career cut way too short

Sure was. He kicked a goal with each of his first two kicks!

Just watched the first minute

Two bullshit free kicks to Fremantle in a row followed by a 50m penalty and Bell tapping away like an over stimulated chihuahua

I really hated the Fremantle side of that era

They were the worst, but it was so satifsying to beat them. I feel the derbies now days have lost most of the passion and feel just like regular H&A rounds.

It will return again if Freo are able to field a competitive team at some point in the distant future.

For the now however we are playing for cups whilst they are playing for spoons.

My favourite part of that commentary: "Kerr, Headland....some talent here."
Yes, Daniel Kerr was supremely talented.

 

[Farang83150]

Loved Lynch's goal, 19:17 minute mark of the vid, ripper for a big bloke.

[Chris_6678]

Far out forgot how good that match was! The Fremantle crowd going nuts was awesome too. Not sure we have any good derby's since 05 and 06 where they were fierce and close.

It also makes me sad how we only won one flag with that team....

First derby at Optus was a great game. Close game that never really got beyond 20 points either way, with the lead seesawing between both sides. Not as physical as the derbies of old but I doubt we’ll ever see them played like that again. Freo should’ve won the game but missed some straight forward shots in the last quarter and we held on to win by 8.

 

[Shuestar13]

The rivalry is most definitely still there...
God forbid when we next lose one

WCE 12g 16b defeated FREO 12g 8b
Wce were inaccurate early and why Freo shot out to a good lead before being pegged back ..

During that run of losing derbies there was a fair few we lost that we should of won due to poor goal kicking.

Thanks for that Rowan18.

It was a timely reminder and refresher for me to appreciate just why I hate and despise the purple co(k suckers.

That era of Purples were an easily dislikable team, with so many campaigners in it.

Featured two of my most disliked footballer ever -

The Purple Jesus .... yet to see any other player celebrate a meaningless junk time goal more so that that this twat.





And then the player who was "The Great Pretender" the player who was one of the games biggest front running, down hill skiers, the phoney tough guy who was able to con and hoax free kicks from the white maggots.

Drank his own bathwater, no doubt he was a talented player but his heart string muscle had defects.

" Captain Prance and Dance Around the Field " when his team was winning but conspicuous by his absence when a game was up for grabs or his team was well down on the scoreboard.

Mouthy and liked to sledge.........oh but only when it was one way........ didn't like the sledge coming back his way....Sooky Sooky La La.




Good thing about watching that game is looking back at realising, that since that game we have added two more cups to the trophy cabinet, to take our tally to .

Conversely how pleasing it is, knowing that the Violet Crumbles, still have their Premiership Virginity in tack.

 

[Cuzz09]

I loved that game. We looked in trouble and then in the last turned the screws and took control.

Judd kicked a cracker and the goal umpire did not move.

Your disdain and arrogance is heartwarming on a Monday morning! Keep it up!

Good team man, was unfortunately the player who was dropped to make way for Wirra in the 06 grand final after playing every game that year.

Then he had that horrific knee injury in the WAFL

Yeah I was watching that WAFL game on TV as it happened. Camera had a pretty good view of it - not often you see such horrific injuries these days, they either happen off the ball slightly or they decide not to show the replays
