Funny ya say that bazza, being an ex vic, i actually felt and have done for some time, some real understanding of people in freo with the culture of having "its own" footy team, in its own home town. Its all this crap its "WA" verses the Vic that has infiltrated the generation of footy fans nowadays. If South or East freo win the WAFL i expect the celebrations to be held at Joondalup Arena!!!!!!!!!

Must admit I found it a bit strange, maybe there were going to be logistical and parking issues with 20000 people descending on Fremantle?

And Bazza .... Freo just a name?? really? After watching a sea of purple virtually engulf the Hawthorn supporters in Melbourne during the last week? Hawthorn established themselves as a VFL club and can have a family day at Glenferrie because they didn't have to fly out of town to compete in a Grand Final in a competition that is still a VFL but called an AFL because there are just a few interstate teams that happen to be a minor inconvenience to the Victorians.

And before you go and say that Hawthorn deserved the right to stay at home because they finished top and Freo third, well the situation would have been exactly the same if Freo had finished top and Hawthorn 3rd. Also if it wasn't for the formation of these interstate clubs and their injection of money into the game, many of these 'traditional' clubs, perhaps including Hawthorn would be extinct right now.

Mate, they might be based in freo oval, but unlike Hawthorn Geelong Collingwood etc, they never rose up from grass roots football people, they are just a corporate entity, soon to move to Cockburn,,my guess is that in a few years they will just drop the freo tag and be known simply as the dockers.

AFL treat eveyone with contempt (yes including interstate clubs) WAFC treat WA fans with contempt as well. No difference really.
