Been following the footy pretty closely this year and have to say both WA teams are looking very impressive. For the eagles it seems they have skipped alot of the baby steps to improvement and have just come out this year playing just good football. The Dockers have continued their good form from the past couple of years.. they just need to notch up some solid victories against the likes of Geelong and Collingwood before i can really take them seriously.
DERBY TIME SOON!
And as much as the two teams are worlds apart as to where they are at in the league i think the teams are pretty evenly matched up. Honestly... i will be leaning towards the eagles having the extra bigs Natanui and Darling as good marking options along with Kennedy and having Le Cras and Masten back in by then too... will give them so much attacking ability from so many angles.
I think the eagles will be the wild card this season and will really test alot of the older more experienced teams and will see them in the top 8 again at the end of the season.
The dockers I think are the only team that will challenge the pies this year... they have the skill and pace to keep up with the pies i think they just make too many errors and lack a bit of class.
Either way a good season of footy ahead!
After reading this post, I knew you couldn't be a dockers fan.
Dockers fans are all so bitter and twisted about the eagles, and they only care about derby wins.
The dockers sorted out their list and are now going places, too bad they can't delist their fans and find some decent ones.
