The Purple Impostors

Easter Sunday 2003 saw the Fremantle Dockers play the best game of football in their short history.

Sports writers in the southern states have made a big deal of the Freo forward line in this game – and it was impressive.

The glaring truth of this game, however, was that it wasn’t at all like watching a Fremantle match. It was more akin to watching the Fremantle players playing for another team. They played real football yesterday, not “Freo Football”.
