It's a players choice for captains, then coaches have their input and endorsed by board

I'm hoping there's a change with Serong and Brayshaw in

Brayshaw & Serong would be one of the few exceptions for Co-Captains.
They seem to be different types of leaders.

Serong will give you a whack, Bae can then wrap his arms around you and discuss ways to not get whacked again.

Caleb is the one on field who is first in to celebrate his team mate's success. He's got plenty of hugs in him.

So he gives the beating AND the after care? Good lad.

Advice for draftees: don't take investment advice from football players, coaches or managers.

Well I dunno, I'm extremely relieved after reading this:

It’s a sad day when places like the onion and the BTT have to become legitimate sources.

I wonder how much he had to do with our two Victorian draftees

 

[freo1]

I like what our media department do, but seriously, how hard is it to update the players list? Official AFL Website of the Fremantle Dockers

I would have thought as soon as a bloke is off that list he should be removed. Not that hard.

It's done automatically through the AFL mate. Everyone is done at the same time. Go through every other club list and you'll find players that aren't there anymore.

It's done from head office.

Collingwood as an example still have Ginni on there, and you'd think they'd make the most noise about it being updated,

You would think at least a little with respect to Murphy, who was a Vic metro player iirc.

Fremantle Oval is set to become the long-term home of the Dockers’ AFLW team as part of a bold new proposal to establish a multi-use precinct in the heart of the harbour city.
But first it needs funding.

and recently crowned Dockers AFLW best and fairest Ange Stannett travelled to Canberra this month to pitch the proposal to federal ministers and MPs.
South Fremantle Football Club and the Western Australian Football Commission are also project partners.
A new look, 14,000-seat Fremantle Oval will be at the heart of the redevelopment, with new facilities for AFLW and WAFL matches. The venue has been Fremantle’s AFLW home since 2017 but it has come under scrutiny from female athletes for subpar change rooms.

But that won’t be a problem anymore when the venue is transformed.
“A key issue is retaining AFLW at the oval,” Fitzhardinge said. “Rightly, the AFL and the AFLPA are giving a lot of scrutiny to facilities to make sure they’re up to scratch for AFLW which they absolutely should be.
“At Fremantle Oval, not only are our facilities quite old, but they’re built for blokes. We’re doing everything we can to make them suitable but over time, they won’t be suitable.
“That’s something we see as a priority. We want to ensure the facilities are there for AFLW but also that the broadcast and fan experience get a lift as well. There’s a lot to love about it but it also has some serious shortfalls.
“We want it to be a long-term home ground for the AFLW Dockers.”
The heritage-protected Victoria Pavilion is set to be preserved but it’s expected the oval will be re-positioned to bring it closer to spectators in the stands. Stannett said the transformation would be crucial to the female talent pathway and the Dockers’ game day experience.
“That experience was incredible,” Stannett said of Fremantle’s trip to Canberra. “It would be exciting and amazing.
“The City of Fremantle are doing an incredible job pulling together some key partners looking at redeveloping Fremantle Oval not only for the Dockers’ benefit but also obviously South Fremantle, the WAFC and the community side of it as well.
“It’s looking really exciting and it’ll mean a stable and secure future for the female pathway in footy for years to come.”
The grand vision for the project is for Fremantle Oval to become a boutique stadium, second to the 60,000-capacity Optus Stadium.

“We know there’s no great second-tier oval in place in Perth for football and events,” Fitzhardinge said. “Optus is great for a certain size of crowd. But for the AFLW games and WAFL grand finals, you need a venue that is going to feel appropriately sized for that type of sporting event.
“We see it coming in around the 14,000 capacity mark. But we also need to make sure it feels good on days where you don’t get a capacity crowd and it’s closer to 3,000 or 4,000 people.”
A Fremantle Oval facelift has been in the works for years. A previous pitch delivered plans for a state-of-the-art sporting facility but key stakeholders have been forced to return to the drawing board to address the surrounding area and ensure funding can be secured from all three levels of government.
While the project is still in its conceptual planning phase, potential additions to the precinct could include educational facilities in conjunction with Notre Dame University and the Fremantle hospital, student housing, recreational facilities or childcare to address a suburb shortage.
But sport is still set to be the focal point of the precinct.
“We want to ensure it feels as though it’s really connected back to the city,” Fitzhardinge said. “At the moment, it feels quite cut off.
“You can wander in there any day of the week but would you? It doesn’t feel like it’s part of the city. It’s got to feel permeable and some of the key connections are through that oval precinct.

“We’re looking at what are those other active uses that we could have around the perimeter that don’t take away from the overall experience of football at Fremantle Oval.
“On game days, we imagine potentially being able to close off the street between the oval and the Fremantle markets for example and create a fan experience out there.
“The fact we’re looking at is a precinct rather than just a sporting facility and the fact we’re looking to get mixed outcomes and community usages out of it, with sport being central to it, meant that the government was fairly positive in their feedback about us being potentially eligible for their funding programs.”
Pending funding approval, it is hoped works on the new precinct will start by 2026 with a view of opening the new Fremantle Oval in 2029, aligning with the centenary of Fremantle as a local government and the bicentenary of arrival in Western Australia.
