TimN's View on the Fremantle Dockers in 1999
The Fremantle Dockers had their first season in the AFL in 1995. Since
that time, the astounding skills of their players have made them a
force to be reckoned with, as their record of finishing 13th, 13th, 12th, 15th and then 15th again this year clearly shows. 1999 saw a new coach on the scene,
with Damien Drum taking over from Gerard Neesham, but as the astounding consistency of the Dockers shows, this change had little impact on the club. I also have review for some matches from 1997 and 1998.
