We have finally seen some history on Friday night - After 29 years of existence, we have seen Fremantle draw a game in WA, we've also seen the first draw at Optus Stadium/Perth Stadium, a mere 2 weeks after we had the first draw in the history of the Adelaide Oval...
And it's also the first drawn game in WA since Round 11, 2003, when Ashley Sampi had to kick a goal after the siren for West Coast to pinch a draw against a Western Bulldogs team that went winless for 4 months and eventually won the wooden spoon.
On another note, how bog ordinary are Fremantle - Can't even defeat a Collingwood team that had 6 players out and lost another 3 players during the game, and they still needed some dodgy umpiring in the last 7 minutes just to get a draw.
The longer time goes on, the more I realise my West Coast supporting mates had a fair argument that West Coast would probably win their next premiership before Freo win their first...
Because until Freo win a premiership, they have no idea how to win one.
On the flip side, this game should also demonstrate that Collingwood are tougher than a $2 steak, to fly halfway across the country and stand a minute from winning the game with that many outs.
