From a MIGHTY EAGLE to a heartbreaking Docker.

I was always an Eagles girl. Always. As each of my (4) family members slowly morphed into die-hard Dockers supporters (we're a big underdog family). I held fast. But then my parents actually became members. Mum actually joined mid season 1999ish when the Dockers had just surpassed their own record of how many games they could lose in a row. So anyway, what it meant was that I would go to the games when they had a spare ticket. And in the last two years I have officially become a Dockers girl. I can't help it, I swear. I think it's because unlike the Eagles, who will generally go through an entire season predominantly winning, the Freo will get your hopes up with a glorious win, then crush them for four straight weeks. Or you'll spend a nail biting game watching them win in every minute but the last two. Basically they get under your skin. Even when they're doing really well you still know it's a possibility that they might suddenly start sucking and really, that just makes it all more exciting. So I will be writing on every crushing defeat, every fantastic victory and every Derby we win, suckers.
