Rhonda Bracey: At Random

On Friday night, the Fremantle Dockers beat Essendon by nearly 40 points. It was a win that the Dockers needed, so they got the 4 points and some percentage gains. But it wasn’t pretty football… again. In fact, for most of the match it was pretty darned boring. The players don’t seem to have the passion that the Club has as its motto, and the crowd of 34,000 didn’t seem to have too much passion on Friday night either, even though we were winning.

While not all games can be as exciting as the derby against the Eagles earlier in the year, or the Round 21 game against St Kilda late last season, it would be nice if we had a few more games where both players and supporters could feel a bit more of an adrenalin rush.
