Emerging in a splash of purple, red, green, and white - from an area steeped in football history - the Dockers entered the league in 1995 as WA’s second club. With West Coast’s shadow looming large, and list-build challenges that still hurt today, Fremantle was determined to push the boundaries and beat to their own drum.

In this fifth episode of AFL Team Builders, inaugural leaders David Hatt (CEO), Gerard Neesham (coach) and Ross Kelly (chairman) take you inside the formation of the Dockers.

    This video is exceptionally well made. Nice work very impressive. Go freo
  • @jeremymiklos6914
    I've enjoyed all these team builder videos, being an American footy fan these stories lend history that wasn't available to me here, thank you keep it up
  • @joshmc5882
    Freo were hamstrung by the AFL and the WAFC. Imagine if they got the same concessions West Coast got.
  • @n1ck1985
    How random is the story about sitting next to the Pentagon official on a plane haha
  • @Giumelz
    Amazing that a WAFL side won 7 games that year. Neesham was a good tactician l, constant list overhauls and missed recruits killed them
  • @jordanklingsporn763
    Freo were created for only 2 reasons 1. To weaken the Eagles as they were clearing far ahead as the biggest club in the comp 2. To screw up the ARL who had just announced the Western Reds. Wouldn't be surprised if history repeats itself with putting the 20th club in Perth, with WA getting an NRL team in 2027 Go Freo 💜⚓️

    Loewe & Harvey would never have joined Freo. Neesham brought half the Claremont squad with him. He had no idea how to develop talent, he let Peter Bell go for free at the end of 1995 after 2 games.

    Fremantle had the best jumper and logo when they were formed. Their logo now is pathetic.
  • @q8gyj26s
    Shows how Fremantle was punished for the success of the Eagles. The VFL hated seeing their cup leave their state.
