Freemantle Football Club History
The first Australian rules football match to be played in Fremantle occurred in the 1880s [2] and the city quickly became a stronghold of the code, with Fremantle based teams winning 24 of the first 34 WAFL premierships [3]. For over 100 years it has been represented by two strong clubs in the West Australian Football League: East Fremantle and South Fremantle. However it was not represented in a national club competition until 1995, eight years after the foundation of rival Western Australian football team, the West Coast Eagles.
The AFL announced on December 14 1993 that a new team would enter the league in 1995 and be based in Fremantle. The names "Fremantle Football Club", "Fremantle Dockers" and club colours were announced on July 12 1994.
After an average first half to the 2006 season, Fremantle finished the year with a club record 9 straight wins to earn themselves 3rd position at the end of the Home & Away season, a club record 15 wins in a year and a double chance for their September finals campaign. In the qualifying final against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium, the Dockers lead for the first three quarters before being overrun by the Crows.
On the 8th of October Peter Bell stood down from the captaincy of Fremantle and will be replaced by Matthew Pavlich for the 2007 season.
