It’s no fun kicking someone while they’re down. It’s just sad. That’s why Fremantle like to build up the hopes of the West Coast Eagles and their associated supporters by giving them a bit of a look at the 4 points before routinely demolishing them in the second half. It all went to script in Derby 39. The Dockers worried the Eagles early, controlling the football and the game but not pushing too far in front of the mob from up the road. Freo left a bit of a crack open in the second quarter and even flirted with letting the Eagles take the lead in the third quarter. The West Coast mob’s hopes were up, their confidence was high, a few them started to strut around the place like it was the early 90’s. Then down came the hammer. Fremantle crushed them with 6 goals in a row, each more bruising than the last as they revelled in sucking the dreams and ambitions out of 40,000 Eagles supporters and a handful of what the Eagles are trying to pass off as footballers. Lachie Neale picked up the Rosco Medal and the rumour is he’ll be using it later tonight to scratch up Adam Simpson’s car as a welcome to WA. The win sees Fremantle climb to 6th spot on the ladder and the Eagles plummet out of finals contention.
