Great to take a walk down memory lane yesterday, close hard fought Freo derby's have been few and far between of late. Fantastic display of rebounding, fast free flowing, pinpoint footy..lots of great names playing for both sides....the speed and hardness of the game was amazing, counter attack after counter attack from both sides....Collards x 3 streaming out of defence for SF, Rioli steering the ship thru the middle for SF....Matera burning up n down his wing.... for EF the speed and dash of Edgar, Rowe, Thorne and even Christie was a highlight....Browning and O'Sullivan dominating the air in their respective zones....the mobility of the big boys in Tunbridge and Durack for EF....Cooper at times oozed genuine class....much like Wrensted did for EF....Peake, whilst slower, still hitting packs taking vice like marks....even with a load of quality out of the comp due to the Eagles etc...the WAFL definitely looked alive and kicking back in 89....Great memories indeed....thanks again to all concerned for teeing it up...pity some unnecessary comments / posts popped up from time to time during the match....yeah we know EF oval is dump....FFS just let it go for an hour or two and just relive those great WAFL memories and watch the farking game.

Wonderful to have all these games replayed isn't it Freezin? On Saturday night I enjoyed watching the 1983 Grand Final in front of a 45K+ crowd at Subiaco. They were the Halcyon pre AFL days of our competition.

Hopefully we will get some live WAFL at some stage this year but if not these replays will be a real compensation and I will be tuning in every week to get my fix.

Actually speaking of East Fremantle Oval, the Sharks home ground was the venue for a very fond memory for this Swans supporter and would you believe there was no black and white to be seen anywhere on this particular day!

I'm not sure when you relocated to NZ but if you were still in Perth, no doubt you would have attended the Foundation day derby of 2009. It was a lovely sunny monday holiday and I made a last minute decison to attend the game with a friend and boy was I glad I did!

On my arrival at the ground I was amazed to see the queue at the entrance stretching out a few hundred metres down the street. I had not seen that at a WAFL game since the 80's. More than 11,000 people packed the ground that day. It was wonderful to see the bank on the scoreboard wing absolutely packed.

The game itself was a thriller with the Sharks getting home by a point but it was a see saw affair all afternoon ( SF were 5 goals in front at quarter time) . I may be wrong but that would probably be the last time there was 10,000+ at a qualifying round WAFL match. Would love to see that game again if Sean has a copy

Here is the game summary thanks to Ricks site

Cheers for that Mikeh. Thanks to Ric for showing the 1989 game on Sunday arvo too. Good memories for sure - i went to the game 30 plus years but it does not seem like that long ago. Not much difference between the two sides though South did reach the grand final so though we did beat them again in round 3 they probably were a bit ahead of us at that time. They seemed to run that game out very well and but for some unhelpful late umpiring and a great Clinton Browning mark would of won the game. Souths also had a guy running around for them who at the time few would of thought was soon going to go onto being one of the absolute greats of the game.

That is an outstanding documentary The Rock. Great day in the history of the EFFC and the WAFL, this film captured the atmosphere of the day perfectly. Don't you love the insight into what a coaches box is like in the last few minutes of a close game. Also good to hear the thoughts of the late Ken Judge, one of East Fremantle's finest. Thanks for sharing this, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

What a great video. Brilliant. I was at the game but it was great to see what people rarely do even when you’re there. Thanks for posting it Rock.
