derby disaster

it's often said that there are only two games each year that freo supporters consider unacceptable to lose (when we make the finals that number increases but as we've only made the finals twice the rule is usually in place) and yesterday was one of those games. there was so much riding on this derby that it really stings to lose it. being in poland i'm pretty far removed from the afl scene and am limited to reading news accounts but it sounds pretty dire for us at the moment. fortunately we're only three rounds into the season and there's still plenty of time to recover. i've no doubt we'll be in the eight by the halfway point of the season and, injuries and suspensions permitting, will be a force in the finals. it's times like this that separate the true supporters from those who like to hop on and off bandwagons. as for me, i'm with them for the long haul!!
