Description
"The State is divided. It's not life or death, it's more important." So says a poster on Dennis Cometti's wall - and that's what David Whish-Wilson and Sean Gorman found when they interviewed 40 fans of the West Coast Eagles and the Fremantle Dockers.
Among those interviewed are David Wirrpanda, Shaun McManus, Dennis Lillee, Alison Fan, Gillian O'Shaughnessy, Julie Bishop, Melissa Parke, Jesse Dart, Ross McLean, and more.
Does the greatest team have the greatest fans? Read Derby: WA Footy Fans on the Game's Greatest Rivalry and find out for yourself.
