<strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Book</strong> <strong>2005</strong>
From the President<br />
This year signalled the<br />
conclusion of our first three<br />
year Strategic Plan. In 2003<br />
we established very clear<br />
objectives that needed to be<br />
achieved across all levels of<br />
the club in order to improve<br />
our overall performance,<br />
critical to ensuring that<br />
our club could be a stable<br />
and strong club capable<br />
of competing in a very<br />
competitive environment.<br />
Focus on achieving those objectives<br />
was essential in order to lay the necessary<br />
foundations from which the club could<br />
make significant progress in the immediate<br />
years ahead. Our resolve was steadfast<br />
and our focus did not falter nor were we<br />
side-tracked from the achievement of<br />
those objectives.<br />
In February this year we were able to make<br />
our final licence fee payment to the AFL<br />
to signal the removal of the entire club’s<br />
debt, which stood at over $8 million in<br />
2002. Our revenues have grown to be the<br />
highest they have ever been at any other<br />
time. Our membership set another record<br />
this year with over 34,000 members<br />
only further proving, if ever that was<br />
needed, how loyal and passionate our<br />
supporters are. We have posted our third<br />
consecutive operating profit to bring our<br />
total profits over the last three years to<br />
over $2.5 million, a remarkable result.<br />
Across all key measures we are now<br />
positioned as one of the top five clubs in<br />
the competition. This is an achievement of<br />
which everyone associated with the club<br />
should be proud. Those foundations for a<br />
stable and strong football club have now<br />
been firmly laid.<br />
Next year we are entering arguably our<br />
most important phase as a club. Our new<br />
three year plan is about delivering the<br />
next level of growth and development<br />
with our primary focus on the delivery of<br />
sustained on-field success. However, with<br />
the club’s structures and processes now<br />
well established and under the guidance<br />
of quality management and staff, we will<br />
not lose focus off the field and will continue<br />
to improve our off field performance and<br />
maintain our path of growth.<br />
Our focus is clearly on our achievements<br />
as a football team. We have systematically<br />
and deliberately concentrated on shaping<br />
our playing list over the last few years and<br />
retaining our players who we firmly believe<br />
can deliver the success that we all seek.<br />
As we all know, the success we crave<br />
does not come easily and it certainly does<br />
not come simply because we want it to.<br />
It comes through planning and commitment.<br />
We have the players, coaches and<br />
staff who have the level of commitment<br />
needed to deliver success. No one is<br />
more disappointed with the season<br />
than the players and coaches. The level<br />
of determination of the player group to<br />
succeed next year is as strong as I have<br />
ever seen.<br />
Despite the disappointment of the season<br />
to miss the September action, we did have<br />
some achievements and some memorable<br />
moments. We continued to improve our<br />
record on the road though our record at<br />
Subiaco Oval was again a concern. We<br />
recorded our highest ever score, won for<br />
the first time at Skilled Stadium, equalled<br />
our record of five consecutive wins, and<br />
then there was round 21. The St Kilda game<br />
will stick long in our memories as one of<br />
the great wins by our club. The nerves<br />
of everyone at the ground and at home<br />
were fully tested in the last five minutes<br />
as we fought to record a stirring after-thesiren<br />
win.<br />
It was a tough year as injuries took their<br />
toll in the middle part of the season. The<br />
senior squad was impacted significantly<br />
as our injury fortunes changed dramatically<br />
from previous years. Though we rued the<br />
loss of key players, some of our exciting<br />
young talent seized the moment to make<br />
their AFL debuts, gaining valuable game<br />
time and AFL experience. They showed us<br />
that they and the club are well positioned<br />
for the future.<br />
The second half run of the season was<br />
outstanding. All but written off at the<br />
mid-season break, the performance of the<br />
team to dig deep and restore a realistic<br />
finals opportunity was a credit to the group,<br />
and though it was taken away in round 22<br />
it showed us all what the team is capable<br />
of and gives us all encouragement for<br />
season 2006.<br />
As we look forward to next year, we<br />
welcome our new Major Sponsor LG<br />
Electronics to the club. It is a great honour<br />
to have the support of one of Australia’s<br />
and the world’s leading companies for the<br />
next three years as we enter into an exciting<br />
period for the club. We look forward to a<br />
long and mutually rewarding partnership.<br />
Your club has come a long way over the last<br />
four years but we are all fully aware of the<br />
necessity to be armed and ready for the<br />
challenge that lay ahead.<br />
We believe the foundation is in place<br />
and is strong, and that all are committed<br />
to building on that as we approach the<br />
seasons ahead. All at the club are looking<br />
forward to the next step with great<br />
anticipation. We are approaching season<br />
2006 with confidence and enthusiasm and<br />
are committed to success for the <strong>Fremantle</strong><br />
<strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> as we build on those carefully<br />
laid foundations.<br />
Thank you to one and all for your loyal<br />
support in <strong>2005</strong> and I ask for your<br />
continued passionate support next season.<br />
Rick Hart<br />
President<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Book</strong> <strong>2005</strong>
From the Senior Coach<br />
I believe that the bitter<br />
disappointment of missing<br />
the finals by one game two<br />
seasons in succession will<br />
be the driving motivation<br />
behind our players’<br />
commitment to season<br />
2006. Make no mistake,<br />
everyone is desperate for<br />
finals action and we expect<br />
to make the finals in 2006.<br />
Every member of the player group, every<br />
member of the coaching group and every<br />
member of staff is focused on moving this<br />
club forward to achieve that goal. Our senior<br />
players will lead that charge led by our<br />
captain Peter Bell.<br />
We have stuck with our plan over the<br />
last four years and have built the playing<br />
group now to one of which we should all<br />
be proud. They have now been together for<br />
several years and have not only developed<br />
significant AFL experience but have more<br />
importantly built significant chemistry<br />
together as a team. The management of<br />
our playing list has been a huge priority for<br />
the club and the players have committed<br />
themselves to the club for the future.<br />
We have backed these players to achieve<br />
our goals as a club and, importantly, for<br />
you, our members. Our membership has<br />
grown significantly over the last two years<br />
and despite our disappointments of the<br />
last two years, the loyalty shown to our club<br />
and our players has been amazing. All the<br />
players will be striving to repay that loyalty<br />
in 2006.<br />
We were not active in this year’s trade<br />
period preferring to keep our early draft<br />
picks and add quality players to our squad<br />
at this year’s National Draft. Our playing list<br />
is experienced with fourteen players with<br />
over 100 games experience and that will<br />
be extended by two in 2006. In 2002 we<br />
only had seven. Experience has been a key<br />
component of successful teams.<br />
There is no doubt that the standard of AFL<br />
football is continually improving and we<br />
must respond, lifting the bar in all areas.<br />
Our pre-season will be specific, testing<br />
and uncompromising. As a team we need<br />
to break new ground. To that end, the<br />
directors and management have wholeheartedly<br />
backed the coaching staff to<br />
formulate and implement the best possible<br />
training programs for all components our<br />
football team for 2006.<br />
Make no mistake it is all about performance<br />
in 2006.<br />

Running Head
From the Captain<br />
For the players and everyone<br />
at the club, season <strong>2005</strong><br />
was a very disappointing<br />
year. It was disappointing for<br />
a number of reasons and not<br />
just that we finished outside<br />
the final eight. It was a year<br />
that had massive ups and<br />
downs through the season.<br />
We had some great wins<br />
matched with some poor<br />
performances. It was indeed<br />
a frustrating year for all<br />
concerned none more so<br />
than for the players.<br />
Each player worked extremely hard and<br />
focused all their energies on experiencing<br />
finals action. That is what every player<br />
works towards. We have added to and<br />
developed the player group for just<br />
that reason. For most of the group that<br />
experienced our first finals in 2003, we are<br />
desperate to experience that again. When<br />
we don’t achieve that goal, we suffer the<br />
disappointment deeply.<br />
Our year was also frustrating as we felt the<br />
impacts of injuries at a level that we had<br />
not experienced over the last three years.<br />
We lost senior players for long periods<br />
of time, especially in the first half of the<br />
season. All the preparation that went<br />
into our game plan over the pre-season<br />
was progressively dismantled and we<br />
were forced to make major adjustments,<br />
especially to our defence that was hit the<br />
hardest by injury. But this is not an excuse<br />
as injuries are a part of football.<br />
As injuries took their toll, it provided<br />
opportunities for our younger players to<br />
taste AFL football for the first time and they<br />
performed exceptionally well when that<br />
opportunity arose. David Mundy, Michael<br />
Johnson, Brett Peake and Ryan Crowley all<br />
gained valuable game experience and that<br />
will hold them and the club in good stead<br />
for the future.<br />
I was proud of the character shown by the<br />
player group to respond as they did in the<br />
second half of the season after a very<br />
difficult first half of the year gave us only<br />
five wins from fourteen games. To work<br />
ourselves back into a position to make<br />
the finals was great effort and shows<br />
what this group is capable of in the future.<br />
But the competition is about consistency<br />
of performance and that was again missing<br />
from us this year.<br />
Consistency is our focus for next year. We<br />
continued to improve our performance on<br />
the road this year, something that we have<br />
worked really hard at over the last couple<br />
of years. At home we let our members and<br />
supporters down at times and we will be<br />
doing everything that we can to restore<br />
Subiaco Oval to once again be a ground<br />
to be feared by opposition clubs.<br />
A special acknowledgement needs to be<br />
made to Shane Parker who became the first<br />
player to play 200 games for <strong>Fremantle</strong>.<br />
Shane has been with the club since day one<br />
and it is a fantastic effort to reach such a<br />
milestone. He is an exceptional individual<br />
and a real professional who goes about his<br />
job with a minimum of fuss, giving 100 per<br />
cent for the club each week.<br />
On behalf of the players I would like to<br />
thank all our members and supporters.<br />
The club enjoys fantastic, loyal support and<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> members have stuck with the<br />
players and the club throughout what has<br />
been a difficult year. Our supporters are<br />
passionate about the club and no doubt<br />
were as disappointed as we were with the<br />
year. We had a record membership level<br />
in <strong>2005</strong> and we all look forward to that<br />
continued support in 2006.<br />
Rest assured that the results in <strong>2005</strong> hurt.<br />
The players will be working hard through<br />
the pre-season to be ready to tackle 2006<br />
head-on. It is an important year for us as a<br />
club and a player group. We have to deliver<br />
on our potential and we will be focused<br />
on staking our position in the eight. What<br />
position you can never predict but anything<br />
outside the eight will not be acceptable<br />
to us.<br />
We have a player group with the experience<br />
necessary to succeed, not only experience<br />
in the AFL but more importantly the<br />
experience of being together as a<br />
group for a period of time.<br />
The player group is ready.<br />

Vice Captain Matthew Pavlich capped<br />
off an outstanding year winning the <strong>2005</strong><br />
Doig Medal. After moving permanently to<br />
the forward line in <strong>2005</strong>, Matthew became<br />
the club’s leading goal scorer in season<br />
<strong>2005</strong> with 61, to place him second behind<br />
the club’s season record holder Tony Modra<br />
(71). Matthew’s career tally has reached<br />
169 goals, just nine goals behind Clive<br />
Waterhouse as the club’s all-time leading<br />
goal scorer.<br />
Forty of Matthew’s 61 goals came in the<br />
last nine games of the season at an average<br />
4.4 goals per game and he was instrumental<br />
in <strong>Fremantle</strong>’s resurgence in the second<br />
half of the year. Matthew had bags of nine<br />
(round 16 v Carlton), eight (round 14 v<br />
Adelaide), and six (round 7 v Collingwood)<br />
with a season accuracy of 71 per cent,<br />
and an amazing accuracy of 83 per cent in<br />
the second half of the season. Matthew’s<br />
season tally of 61 goals placed him seventh<br />
in the competition in <strong>2005</strong>.<br />
Matthew took 178 marks to finish third<br />
in the AFL with an average 8.1 marks<br />
per game and had 372 disposals at an<br />
average 17 possessions per game. He<br />
was the club’s leading vote-getter at the<br />
<strong>2005</strong> Brownlow Medal count with 14 votes,<br />
finishing in a tie for seventh overall.<br />
To cap an outstanding year, Matthew earned<br />
his third All Australian selection in <strong>2005</strong>,<br />
selected as centre half forward and follows<br />
his All Australian honours in 2002 and 2003.<br />
This season Matthew played all 22 games<br />
to take his tally to 128 games, the last 97<br />
consecutively to be the club record holder<br />
for consecutive games. He has played an<br />
amazing 128 from a possible 133 games<br />
since joining the AFL and has not missed<br />
a game since round 15 of 2001.<br />
Matthew has placed in the top three in the<br />
Doig Medal for the last four years and his<br />
<strong>2005</strong> Doig Medal joins his win<br />
in 2002, his runner-up<br />
silver medal in 2003<br />
and third place medal<br />
in 2004. Matthew now<br />
joins Captain Peter Bell<br />
as the only multiple<br />
winner of the prestigious<br />
Doig Medal.<br />

The Doig Medal<br />
Joint Runners-Up – Peter Bell and Shane Parker<br />
Peter Bell<br />
Captain Peter Bell capped off another<br />
outstanding year to finish in the top three<br />
of the Doig Medal for the fifth consecutive<br />
year since returning to the club in 2001.<br />
The triple Doig Medallist (2001, 2003,<br />
and 2004) was also runner-up in 2002<br />
behind Matthew Pavlich. The club’s longest<br />
serving captain (84 games) again led the<br />
team magnificently through the year playing<br />
18 games to take his AFL games tally to<br />
228. In round 17, Peter played his 100th<br />
game for the club to become only the 22nd<br />
player in the history of the game to play<br />
100 games for two clubs having also played<br />
123 games for the Kangaroos from 1996<br />
to 2000 that included two premierships<br />
and the 2000 Kangaroos Best and Fairest.<br />
Peter was selected in the WA State of Origin<br />
Team for the third consecutive year in a<br />
season where he had 422 possessions at<br />
an average of 23.4 per game and laid 69<br />
tackles at an average 3.8 per game. Peter<br />
is the club’s all time leading Brownlow vote<br />
getter with 62 votes.<br />
Shane Parker<br />
In a memorable year, Shane became the first <strong>Fremantle</strong> player to play 200 games for<br />
the club when he took the field against Carlton in round 16 at the MCG to hold the club’s alltime<br />
games record of 206 games. In a year where injury impacted the defence significantly,<br />
Shane played all 22 games and was again called upon to lead the defence taking on<br />
opponents outside his weight division. The cool hand in the defensive structure, Shane was<br />
often asked to play on taller, quicker or stronger opponents. Once again he never failed to<br />
give 100 per cent and his consistent performance in <strong>2005</strong> was rewarded by winning the<br />
silver Doig Medal. Shane was runner-up in the 1997 Doig Medal and third in 2002.<br />
Third Place – Heath Black<br />
Returning to <strong>Fremantle</strong> in <strong>2005</strong> after<br />
three seasons with St Kilda, Heath proved to<br />
be the recruit of the year for <strong>Fremantle</strong> playing<br />
all 22 games and was the club’s leading<br />
possession-winner with 480 disposals at an<br />
average of 21.8 possessions per game, with<br />
his 329 kicks placing him tenth overall in<br />
the AFL. He also took 112 marks and kicked<br />
13 goals in a dominant return to <strong>Fremantle</strong>.<br />
Heath has now played a total of 91 games for<br />
the club and a total of 145 AFL games overall.<br />
His third placing in the Doig Medal was a<br />
fitting reward for a strong and consistent<br />
year and joins his runner-up medal in 2001,<br />
his last year with the club before moving to<br />
St Kilda. Heath received further recognition<br />
for an outstanding year with selection in the<br />
Australian side for the <strong>2005</strong> International<br />
Rules Series.<br />

The Doig Medal<br />
Joint Fourth Place – Paul Hasleby and Scott Thornton<br />
Paul Hasleby<br />
While Paul’s season was affected by<br />
nagging injury, he went on to play all 22<br />
games amassing 452 disposals (second<br />
only to Heath Black) including a club-high<br />
228 handballs, taking 96 marks (including<br />
Mark of The Week in round 15), and laying<br />
72 tackles. His fourth place this year follows<br />
a third place in 2003 and runners-up medals<br />
in 2004 and 2000. Paul was the club’s<br />
Beacon Award winner in 2000, winning the<br />
AFL’s Rising Star Award in the same year.<br />
Paul polled 12 Brownlow votes in <strong>2005</strong> to<br />
finish second behind Matthew Pavlich for<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong>. Paul has played 130 games for<br />
the club, the last 89 consecutively having<br />
not missed a game since round 1 2002.<br />

The club’s fifth round selection at the<br />

Scott’s career has been hampered by<br />
persistent injury managing only 15 games<br />
prior to the <strong>2005</strong> season after making his<br />
AFL debut in 2002. A strong pre-season<br />
resulted in Scott playing all 22 games in<br />
<strong>2005</strong> providing strong marking and run<br />
from defence in a consistent season.<br />
Scott finished in the top 10 at <strong>Fremantle</strong><br />
for disposals (294 possessions, sixth<br />
place), handballs (138, sixth) and marks<br />
(94, eighth). The former Sandringham<br />
Dragon has shown in <strong>2005</strong> that he will<br />
be an important part of the club’s future.<br />
<strong>2005</strong> Beacon Award Winner<br />
– David Mundy<br />
The annual Beacon Award is presented<br />
to the club’s best new talent. To be eligible,<br />
a player must be under the age of 21 years<br />
on or before 31 December of the previous<br />
year and have played less than 10 games<br />
at the start of the season.<br />
This year’s Beacon Award winner was David<br />
Mundy who, after being selected by the club<br />
in the 2003 National Draft, made his debut<br />
for the club in round 6 against Melbourne at<br />
the MCG and went on to play the remaining<br />
17 games of the season. He earned an AFL<br />
Rising Star nomination in round 14 against<br />
Adelaide and ultimately finished third in<br />
the award for the year. The young defender<br />
showed throughout the year that he will be<br />
an exciting part of the future of the club.<br />
Fifth Place – Jeff Farmer<br />
The Wizard again continued to perform<br />
consistently in the <strong>Fremantle</strong> forward line<br />
kicking 35 goals to finish second behind<br />
Matthew Pavlich, including a dominant<br />
seven goal haul in round 6 against his<br />
old club Melbourne. Jeff has now played<br />
199 AFL games and kicked 386 goals with<br />
127 goals in 81 games for <strong>Fremantle</strong>. He<br />
again proved in <strong>2005</strong> to be one of the<br />
competition’s premier small forwards and<br />
was the club’s leading goal scorer in eight<br />
games in <strong>2005</strong>. His outstanding season<br />
was rewarded with his selection in the<br />
<strong>2005</strong> WA State of Origin Team. In 2006<br />
Jeff will become only the eighth indigenous<br />
player to play 200 AFL games.<br />
Best <strong>Club</strong>man – Troy Cook<br />
The popular hard man was at his<br />
damaging best in <strong>2005</strong>, leading the tackle<br />
averages for the club at 4.2 per game over<br />
20 games for the year and averaging 16.4<br />
possessions per game. The 2000 Doig<br />
Medallist played his 150th AFL in round 3,<br />
and took his career tally to 168 games, of<br />
which 126 have been with <strong>Fremantle</strong>. Since<br />
joining <strong>Fremantle</strong> in 2000, Troy has been<br />
the club’s leading tackler for five of the six<br />
years, and has polled 31 Brownlow votes to<br />
be fifth highest vote getter for <strong>Fremantle</strong>.<br />

The Doig Medal<br />
Presentation Dinner<br />
Over 900 people attended the club’s gala event of the year, the<br />
Doig Medal Presentation Dinner, at the Burswood International<br />
Resort Casino on 1 October. With hosts Dixie Marshall and<br />
Michael Thompson, and Luke McPharlin and band taking to the<br />
stage to get the evening off to a flying start, the <strong>2005</strong> Doig Medal<br />
produced few surprises with Matthew Pavlich adding a second<br />
Doig Medal after a sensational <strong>2005</strong> season. Life Member<br />
medallions were presented to founding club Chairman Ross Kelly<br />
and inaugural players Shaun McManus and Shane Parker.<br />

Chief Executive<br />
Officer’s Report <strong>2005</strong><br />
The club began its second<br />
decade in the strongest<br />
position since entering the<br />
competition and is now placed<br />
among the strongest and<br />
most viable clubs in the AFL.<br />
This is something that everyone<br />
associated with the club, Directors, staff,<br />
players, members and supporters should<br />
be proud of particularly given that it was<br />
only a few short years ago that the club<br />
was heavily in debt and recording heavy<br />
trading losses.<br />
The closing of the <strong>2005</strong> season also saw<br />
the completion of the club’s first detailed<br />
Strategic Plan. Developed in 2002 and<br />
implemented for the period from 2003 to<br />
<strong>2005</strong>, this Strategic Plan established clear<br />
objectives and directions across all areas<br />
of the club’s operations, vital as we set<br />
about rebuilding the club from the parlous<br />
state it was in at the end of 2002.<br />
Stability is key ingredient in any business<br />
operation and especially in a football club<br />
at the elite level. It is that ingredient that<br />
we have built over the last three years and<br />
which will hold us in good stead in the future.<br />
Importantly, the plan has delivered pleasing<br />
results for the club that more than anything,<br />
underlines the outstanding potential that<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> has to be one of the great clubs<br />
of this competition. It also gives context<br />
to the next phase of our development.<br />
To lead the club into this stage, a new<br />
Strategic Plan for the period 2006 to<br />
2008 has been developed. It is titled<br />
“The Premiership Quarter”, this plan is<br />
clearly aimed at taking the club to the next<br />
level within the competition, both on and off<br />
the field, while maintaining a key focus on<br />
ensuring that the advances made over the<br />
last three years are not compromised.<br />
Cameron Schwab<br />
Chief Executive Officer<br />
Key Achievements of the<br />
Strategic Plan 2003 to <strong>2005</strong><br />

($10.92m in 2001)<br />
The club is now debt free and has<br />
generated almost $3 million in<br />
operating profits<br />
The club has enjoyed its most<br />
successful period in the AFL to date<br />
with a 54.6 per cent winning ratio,<br />
including a 58.8 per cent winning<br />

The year in review<br />
Before proceeding to the detailed<br />
review of the performance of all operations<br />
of our club in season <strong>2005</strong>, two important<br />
acknowledgments for the year need to be<br />
made.<br />
A special thank you to the Governor<br />
of Western Australia, His Excellency<br />
Lieutenant General John Sanderson who<br />
has retired as Governor at the end of his<br />
five year term in <strong>2005</strong>. It is also brings<br />
to a conclusion the Governor’s three year<br />
reign as the club’s inaugural Patron. During<br />
that time the Governor has given his time<br />
generously to assist the club, in many ways.<br />
While his formal role with the club may have<br />
drawn to a close, as a loyal and passionate<br />
member we know that he will be with us<br />
wholeheartedly in the future.<br />
BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br />
Board of Directors:<br />
Back Row: Gary Berrell, David Rawlinson, Greg Wall, David Garic, Les Everett<br />
Front Row: Mel Ashton, Cameron Schwab (Chief Executive Officer), Rick Hart (President),<br />
Len Hitchen (Vic President), Tony Buhagiar<br />
At this year’s Doig Medal Dinner, President<br />
Rick Hart presented the club’s first Life<br />
Member Medals to inaugural Chairman<br />
Ross Kelly, who did so much for our club in<br />
its formative years, and to inaugural players<br />
Shaun McManus and Shane Parker who<br />
qualified for their Life Membership having<br />
achieved their 150 game milestones in<br />
2004. Three very deserving individuals who<br />
have given so much to our football club and<br />
have played a crucial part in helping make<br />
this club what it is today.<br />
16 <strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Book</strong> <strong>2005</strong><br />
In 2003 the Constitution of the <strong>Fremantle</strong><br />
<strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> was amended to allow for<br />
the election of two (2) member elected<br />
representatives on the Board of Directors of<br />
the club. Mr David Garic and Mr Les Everett<br />
were elected in 2003 for two (2) year and<br />
one (1) year terms respectively. Mr Les<br />
Everett re-nominated and was re-elected to<br />
the Board in the 2004 elections for a two<br />
year period from 1 December 2004 to 30<br />
November 2006.<br />
Mr David Garic, elected to the Board in<br />
the 2003 elections, did not re-nominate<br />
at the expiry of his term on 30 November<br />
<strong>2005</strong>. The club would like to thank David<br />
for his commitment during his two years<br />
as a member of the Board of Directors.<br />
David brought an important ‘grass roots’<br />
understanding to the Board and was very<br />
proud of the important role he played in<br />
having members elected representatives<br />
on the club’s Board.<br />
Mr Greg Wall, a member of the Board<br />
of Directors since 2002, has tendered<br />
his resignation from the Board due to<br />
his increasing business commitments.<br />
Greg’s role during this time cannot be<br />
underestimated. He brought insight and<br />
business acumen to the board and has<br />
played a key role in the club’s financial<br />
turnaround over the last three years.<br />
The club welcomes Mr Ben Allan who<br />
was elected by the members in the <strong>2005</strong><br />
elections to the Board of Directors for a two<br />
(2) year term until 30 November 2007.<br />
Ben was the club’s inaugural captain<br />
in 1995 and played 47 games for the<br />
club. Originally from Claremont winning<br />
a Simpson medal in the 1989 grand final
Chief Executive<br />
Officer’s Report <strong>2005</strong><br />
against South <strong>Fremantle</strong>, Ben was selected<br />
by Hawthorn in the 1989 National Draft and<br />
went on to play 98 games winning the 1991<br />
Hawthorn Best and Fairest and a member<br />
of Hawthorn’s 1991 Premiership side. He<br />
was also an All Australian representative<br />
in 1993 and 1994, Ben returned to lead<br />
the inaugural <strong>Fremantle</strong> side in 1995.<br />
Ben took over as Senior Coach in the 2001<br />
season following the departure of Damian<br />
Drum mid-season. Ben has established<br />
a successful corporate career in the<br />
wine industry.<br />
There were twelve (12) Board of Directors<br />
meetings through the course of the year<br />
chaired by President Mr Rick Hart, twelve<br />
(12) Audit and Governance Sub-Committee<br />
meetings chaired by Mr Mel Ashton, eleven<br />
(11) List Management Sub-Committee<br />
meetings chaired by Mr David Rawlinson<br />
and two (2) Remuneration Sub-Committee<br />
meetings chaired by Mr Len Hitchen.<br />
All Directors fulfil their roles in a voluntary<br />
capacity.<br />
FINANCE<br />
The club’s financial objective of the<br />
2003-<strong>2005</strong> Strategic Plan was “to turn<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> into a profitable, financially<br />
stable football club by building net<br />
revenues, judiciously managing costs<br />
and reducing debt”.<br />
While revenues have continually grown<br />
over the period to $23 million and with cost<br />
management remaining a key focus, the<br />
most critical component of this objective<br />
was achieved on 21 February <strong>2005</strong><br />
when the club made its final AFL Licence<br />
payment to the AFL of $1,712,780.82.<br />
The presentation of this payment to AFL<br />
Chief Executive Officer Andrew Demetriou<br />
also represented the removal the club’s<br />
remaining debt that stood at $8.1 million<br />
at the end of 2002.<br />
The club’s aggressive debt reduction<br />
program could only have been successful<br />
with the delivery of substantial operating<br />
profits in each of the three years of the<br />
Strategic Plan. For the third successive year<br />
the club will post an operating profit and,<br />
following on from $711,000 in 2003 and<br />
$1.254 million in 2004, the <strong>2005</strong> profit<br />
result will be in excess of $900,000 resulting<br />
in a total of almost $3 million in operating<br />
profits being delivered from 2003 to <strong>2005</strong>.<br />
Debt free and profitable, the club’s strict<br />
budget management processes will continue<br />
to focus on building revenues and managing<br />
costs to ensure sustained positive financial<br />
trading results in the future, essential<br />
for investment in the club’s growth and<br />
development. The generation of operating<br />
profits will be critical as the club faces<br />
increased costs of operation in the future.<br />
FOOTBALL<br />
We had set ourselves the clear target to<br />
participating in the finals in <strong>2005</strong>. Missing<br />
out was bitterly disappointing for everyone<br />
involved at the club and for our supporters.<br />

For the last two seasons, we have had to<br />
endure missing the finals in the last game<br />
of season. This disappointment will play<br />
its part in driving us to achieve, but the key<br />
will be our preparation, making the right<br />
decisions, and an absolute commitment to<br />
getting the best from ourselves at all levels.<br />
The highlight was undoubtedly Matthew<br />
Pavlich who had an outstanding year,<br />
enjoying his permanent move to the forward<br />
line where he kicked 61 goals, polled<br />
14 Brownlow votes, earned his third All<br />
Australian selection and second Doig Medal.<br />
Captain Peter Bell was again terrific. Having<br />
missed all of pre-season after serious groin<br />
surgery, he played with great courage and<br />
leadership.<br />
Heath Black made a welcome return to<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong>, playing all 22 games, the club’s<br />
leading possession winner and earning<br />
himself selection in the Australian side for<br />
the <strong>2005</strong> International Rules Series.<br />
Injury free for the first time, Scott Thornton<br />
enjoyed a strong season to play all 22<br />
games and Steven Dodd continued to<br />
show his development after being upgraded<br />
from the Rookie List for season <strong>2005</strong><br />
and played sixteen games.<br />

Whilst injuries played their part, especially<br />
in the middle of the season, it provided the<br />
opportunity for some of the club’s young<br />
talent to experience the pressure of AFL<br />
level perhaps earlier than planned. Several<br />
players made their AFL debuts and made<br />
a positive contribution throughout the year<br />
– Brett Peake (9 games), Ryan Crowley<br />
(12 games), David Mundy (17 games), and<br />
Michael Johnson (11 games). David Mundy<br />
AFL<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Book</strong> <strong>2005</strong> 17
Chief Executive<br />
Officer’s Report <strong>2005</strong><br />
received a AFL Rising Star nomination in<br />
round 14 and went on to finish third in the<br />
award at year’s end.<br />
While players enjoyed the first phase<br />
of their AFL careers, others celebrated<br />
significant career milestones. Shane<br />
Parker became the first <strong>Fremantle</strong> player<br />
to play 200 games for the club against<br />
Carlton in round 16. Shane has been a<br />
fantastic servant of the club and is a total<br />
professional in his training and preparation<br />
as he goes about completing his assigned<br />
task each week, often against bigger and<br />
stronger opponents. A player who has never<br />
attracted the recognition he deserves,<br />
Shane celebrated his milestone game by<br />
kicking his tenth goal in the AFL in part of<br />
a significant win for the club in <strong>2005</strong>.<br />
Peter Bell played his 100th game for<br />
the club in round 13 to become only the<br />
22nd player in the history of the game to<br />
achieve 100 games with two clubs, Jarrad<br />
Schofield played his 200th AFL game in<br />
round 14, Troy Cook played his 150th AFL<br />
game in round 3, Des Headland played<br />
his 100th AFL game in round 8 and his<br />
50th game for the club in round 11, joined<br />
by Aaron Sandilands, Byron Schammer,<br />
Luke McPharlin, and Graham Polak who<br />
also played their 50th game for <strong>Fremantle</strong><br />
during the course of the year.<br />
Peter Bell, Jeff Farmer and Luke McPharlin<br />
were selected in the WA State of Origin<br />
team in <strong>2005</strong>. For Peter Bell it was his third<br />
consecutive selection. Shaun McManus<br />
and Troy Cook were admitted to the WAFL<br />
200 <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
Stability across the playing group has been<br />
a critical objective. The club has achieved<br />
exceptional results securing its players for<br />
the future including Matthew Pavlich, Luke<br />
McPharlin, Paul Hasleby, Justin Longmuir<br />
and interstate youngsters David Mundy,<br />
Ryan Murphy and Ryley Dunn.<br />
The club did not participate in the 2006<br />
Player Trade Week in preference to using<br />
its selections at the 2006 National Draft<br />
to add more exciting young talent to the<br />
squad. These selections gained Marcus<br />
Drum (from the Murray Bushrangers with<br />
selection 10), Garrick Ibbotson (from East<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> with selection 26) and Robert<br />
Warnock (from the Sandringham Dragons<br />
with selection 42).<br />
The season was one of mixed fortunes and<br />
frustration, winning the unwinnable and<br />
losing games when we were expected to<br />
win. The year did provide some glimpses<br />
of the capacity and capability of the team.<br />
A tremendous shoot-out victory against<br />
Melbourne in round 6; a stirring backsagainst-the-wall<br />
win against Geelong and<br />
the first at Skilled Stadium; a record score<br />
against Collingwood; a club record equalling<br />
five consecutive wins; and a memorable win<br />
after the siren against St Kilda.<br />
Significant improvements have been<br />
made in on-field performance over the last<br />
three years with the club’s winning ratio<br />
now standing at over fifty per cent over<br />
18 <strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Book</strong> <strong>2005</strong><br />
the period and, significantly, the winning<br />
ratio in Melbourne is 58 per cent over the<br />
three years.<br />
It is now time to take it to another level.<br />
In October the club participated in its<br />
second exhibition game in London in<br />
three years and, with some senior players<br />
undergoing post season surgery, the game<br />
provided an opportunity for many of the<br />
younger players, such as rookies Jack<br />
Juniper, Joe Krieger, Paul Duffield and<br />
Michael Warren to wear <strong>Fremantle</strong> colours<br />
for the first time and for others to take the<br />
field after a frustrating season with injury<br />
such as Daniel Haines, Andrew Siegert<br />
and Luke Webster.<br />
Many of the players in London took the<br />
opportunity of having a break overseas<br />
before returning to resume pre-season<br />
training on 7 November. From the London<br />
base, it also provided an opportunity to<br />
visit Premier League clubs Liverpool and<br />
Bolton Wanderers, thanks to our valued<br />
sponsor Reebok. These visits, similar<br />
to those conducted in 2003, allowed<br />
a rare behind the scenes and in-depth<br />
look at training, conditioning and athlete<br />
management systems. It has always been<br />
the commitment of the club that gaining<br />
knowledge of the methods and processes<br />
from a range of elite sports outside of<br />
Australian football is critical to the club’s<br />
growth and development, particularly in<br />
an environment where each advantage<br />
gained, no matter how small, can make<br />
a difference.<br />
The visit to <strong>2005</strong> European Cup Champions<br />
Liverpool provided a fantastic opportunity<br />
for Senior Coach Chris Connolly to not only<br />
watch training and inspect the outstanding<br />
facilities but also to spend considerable<br />
time meeting with manager Rafael Benitez.<br />
The hospitality of everyone at the Reds was<br />
greatly appreciated.<br />
From London, a day visit to the $100<br />
million French Rugby Federation’s Centre<br />
of Rugby Excellence, an advanced training<br />
facility located outside Paris, provided an<br />
in-depth view behind the scenes of France’s<br />
high tech centre for rugby development.<br />
The investment made by the Federation,<br />
through such a massive facility, into the<br />
training, development and preparation<br />
of players in pursuit of improved on field<br />
performance was second to none.<br />
It is the continued additional investment<br />
in the preparation and development of<br />
players that is required to maintain the<br />
development of the playing squad into<br />
this important stage of the club’s growth.<br />
Significant investment has already been<br />
made by the Board for season 2006<br />
in the club’s fitness areas, with the<br />
appointment of an Assistant Strength and<br />
Conditioning Coach, an Injury Prevention<br />
and Rehabilitation Coach, and specialist<br />
resources for running, weights, and<br />
exercise physiology. In addition to this<br />
investment in people, further investments<br />
have been made in the gym equipment<br />
and sports science equipment that will<br />
provide <strong>Fremantle</strong> with one of the leading<br />
player training resource centres in the<br />
competition.<br />
While the club moves into an exciting stage<br />
of our growth, it is time also to bid farewell<br />
to Assistant Coaches Chris Waterman<br />
and Simon Eastaugh who have accepted<br />
senior coaching positions with Peel and<br />
Perth in the WAFL respectively, and to<br />
Kevin Ball, biomechanist and skills coach<br />
who returns to Melbourne and will remain<br />
as a consultant to the club in 2006. All<br />
have made significant contributions to the<br />
development of the team and the individual<br />
players with whom they have worked closely<br />
with over their time at the club. The club<br />
sincerely thanks both Chris and Simon for<br />
their respective contributions since 2001.<br />
The club welcomed three time Essendon<br />
premiership player Mark Harvey as<br />
Assistant Coach replacing Chris Waterman<br />
while Assistant Coach Steve Malaxos takes<br />
on a new role as Player Development Coach.<br />
SPONSORSHIP<br />
In April, Major Sponsor BankWest<br />
advised the club that it had chosen not<br />
to exercise their option to renew their<br />
sponsorship at the conclusion of the <strong>2005</strong><br />
season. This decision, advised to the club<br />
early in <strong>2005</strong> was made in line with the<br />
requirements of the sponsorship agreement<br />
so as to provide adequate time for the club<br />
to secure and prepare the transition to a<br />
new major sponsor for 2006. BankWest<br />
have been associated with the club for a<br />
significant period of time and elevated its<br />
involvement from Gold Sponsor to Major<br />
Sponsor for the 2004 and <strong>2005</strong> seasons<br />
at a critical time in the club’s rebuilding.<br />
The club thanks BankWest for its valued<br />
support of the <strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
In November the club proudly announced<br />
that LG Electronics would become the
Chief Executive<br />
Officer’s Report <strong>2005</strong><br />
club’s Major Sponsor for the next three<br />
years. There is no better way to build upon<br />
the club’s recent achievements than with<br />
the support of one of Australia’s and the<br />
world’s, leading companies. The club is<br />
honoured and proud that LG Electronics has<br />
joined as Major Sponsor and will share in<br />
what will be an exciting time for the club.<br />
Pleasingly, all major sponsorship<br />
properties were sold for the season.<br />
The club welcomed Reebok as the club’s<br />
official apparel sponsor under the RBK<br />
mark, Mazda as the official motor vehicle<br />
sponsor and Spa Showcase as the<br />
coaches’ sponsor.<br />
The club extends its thanks and gratitude<br />
to all its sponsors for their loyal support,<br />
especially Platinum Sponsor Foster’s<br />
Australia who have been loyal and valued<br />
supporters of the club and WA football.<br />
Sponsors, the <strong>Club</strong><br />
and the Community<br />
The club continues to commit heavily<br />
to its own wide-ranging community<br />
programmes and activities with the players<br />
visiting hospitals, schools and aged<br />
care groups, and attending charity and<br />
community fundraising activities. In addition<br />
the club joins together with our sponsors<br />
during the season to extend this support<br />
to selected charities in special match day<br />
activities and events.<br />
In three special games each year, the club,<br />
its members and supporters join with club<br />
sponsors to raise much needed funds for<br />
key charities. Since 2003, these games<br />
have become highlights of the season and,<br />
thanks to the generosity of members and<br />
supporters, have raised over $110,000<br />
on game day over the last three years.<br />
In round 7, the Alinta/Salvation Army Red<br />

RED SHIELD APPEAL<br />
The third annual Phillips Fox/Starlight<br />
Purple Haze Game was held on the round<br />
9 game against Hawthorn. The game,<br />
launched in 2003, raises funds for the<br />
Starlight Children’s Foundation and each<br />
year three players assume the role as<br />
Ambassadors for the Starlight Foundation<br />
and in the month leading up to the Purple<br />
Haze game, visit seriously ill children<br />
in hospitals around the metropolitan<br />
area. Des Headland, Jarrad Schofield<br />
and Graham Polak were this year’s<br />
Ambassadors and launched the <strong>2005</strong> game<br />
at <strong>Fremantle</strong> Hospital as well as visiting<br />
Princess Margaret Hospital and St John of<br />
God Hospital Murdoch. The <strong>2005</strong> Phillips<br />
Fox/Starlight Purple Haze Game was the<br />
most successful to date raising more than<br />
$29,000 at the game to take the three year<br />
total to over $69,000. The funds are used<br />
to purchase Fun Centres for the Starlight<br />
rooms at various hospitals and for granting<br />
wishes to seriously ill children. This year’s<br />
funds were used to purchase a Fun Centre<br />
for Rockingham Hospital.<br />
Over the last two years,<br />
Patersons, the Australian<br />
Stockbroker and the club<br />
have joined together for<br />
the Patersons/Guide Dogs<br />
game to raise funds for the<br />
training of guide dogs in<br />
WA. Matthew Pavlich, Josh<br />
Carr and James Walker were<br />
the game’s Ambassadors<br />
in <strong>2005</strong> and with nearly<br />
$10,000 raised at the game<br />
in round 15, the total has<br />
now passed $17,000.<br />
MARKETING<br />
Membership<br />
The amazing growth in club membership<br />
continued in season <strong>2005</strong> and a new<br />
record was set at 34,124 members at<br />
the AFL reporting date of 15 June <strong>2005</strong>.<br />
In season 2001, the club’s membership<br />
stood at 23,818 and just four years later,<br />
this number has increased by a staggering<br />
10,226 members, an increase of nearly<br />
43 per cent.<br />
In 2003, the club challenged <strong>Fremantle</strong><br />
supporters through its ‘Do You Have The<br />
Passion?’ membership campaign and<br />
they have well and truly responded and<br />
membership is now the sixth largest in<br />
the AFL. It is well known that <strong>Fremantle</strong><br />
members and supporters are loyal and<br />
passionate people, proud of their club.<br />
They can be rightfully proud in <strong>2005</strong>.<br />
Home game attendances again averaged<br />
in excess of 35,000 per game following<br />
on from last season’s record attendances.<br />
In season 2004, total attendances at<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> games, both home and away,<br />
totalled 689,600 to set a new club record.<br />
In <strong>2005</strong> total attendances reached 689,015.<br />
Support for our club continues to be very<br />
strong and, with continued growth in<br />
membership and support both in Western<br />
Australia and interstate, the outlook for the<br />
future remains strong.<br />
A special thank you to both the WA Cheer<br />
Squad, led this year by Dawn Wells, and<br />
WA Banner Team, led by Maria Giglia, who<br />
once again were fantastic in their efforts in<br />
<strong>2005</strong>. Each and every week they generously<br />
volunteer their time organising their<br />
activities for game day and it is certainly<br />
appreciated.<br />
The club was not only delighted with the<br />
number of new members joining but the<br />
very high retention rate of members from<br />
season 2004, highlighting the loyalty and<br />
passion of <strong>Fremantle</strong> members.<br />
The club continued to introduce new<br />
member initiatives including an exclusive<br />
Member Rewards program through<br />
the club’s internet site and the Docker<br />
magazine, exclusive merchandise vouchers<br />
that were redeemed in record numbers in<br />
<strong>2005</strong>, three member luncheons held in the<br />
Doig Room at Subiaco Oval on game day<br />
and sensational travel packages for away<br />
games through the club’s travel partner,<br />
Motive Travel.<br />
A special thank you our A.J. Diamond and<br />
Derby <strong>Club</strong> Coterie Groups who once again<br />
gave the club fantastic support throughout<br />
the year and their fund raising activities<br />
allowed the club to install a boxing ring in<br />
the club’s gymnasium which the “Green<br />
Machine”, boxing champion Danny Green<br />
officially opened and for the Derby <strong>Club</strong> to<br />
donate new lounges for the Player’s Lounge<br />
at the club.<br />
Corporate Hospitality<br />
The club enjoyed another great year of<br />
fantastic corporate support with over 450<br />
corporate partners participating in club<br />
events and game day, the highest number<br />
in the club’s history. Over the course of the<br />
year, over 33,000 corporate members and<br />
guests took the opportunity to experience<br />
game day hospitality in corporate facilities<br />
including Corporate Suites, Dining Rooms<br />
and VIP Private Boxes around Subiaco Oval<br />
during <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

utilised the club’s internet site to deliver<br />
record sales through the club’s on-line<br />

Events<br />
Over 10,000 people attended club events<br />
during the course of the year including<br />
the <strong>2005</strong> Season Launch, Sponsor and<br />
Corporate functions on Tuesday evening<br />
team training sessions, new members<br />

the <strong>2005</strong> Doig Medal Presentation Dinner,<br />
the Brownes Chill Junior Member Christmas<br />
Party, the Family Fun Day, Corporate Golf<br />

With the increased popularity of club events<br />
in <strong>2005</strong> and the tremendous support<br />
given by sponsors, corporate partners and<br />
members alike, the 2006 Events Calendar<br />
will again present a full variety of events<br />
throughout the year.<br />
Interstate<br />
The support for <strong>Fremantle</strong> outside Western<br />
Australia continued to increase in <strong>2005</strong> and<br />
this growing band of loud and passionate<br />
members and supporters provide fantastic<br />
encouragement when the team is away<br />
from home.<br />
A key part of this growing support is the<br />
club’s Victorian Cheer Squad, who not only<br />
provide tremendous support for all games<br />
in Victoria but also this year travelled twice<br />
to Adelaide as well as to Launceston and<br />
Sydney. The club greatly appreciates the<br />
efforts of our dedicated Victorian Cheer<br />
Squad who travel to every game at their<br />
own expense and ensure not only that the<br />
team banner is proudly displayed as the<br />
team runs onto interstate soil but also<br />
provide vocal support during the games<br />
in opposition dominated stadiums.<br />
This year’s after match function was held<br />
after the round six game against Melbourne<br />
and over 800 people attended to mix<br />
with players and coaches following the
Chief Executive<br />
Officer’s Report <strong>2005</strong><br />
thrilling shoot-out victory over the Demons.<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> President Rick Hart presented<br />
Rove McManus with his number one ticket<br />
and framed team guernsey and ten year<br />
certificates were also presented to the<br />
club’s loyal and dedicated Victorian staff<br />
Guy Balmer, Colin Cianter, Barry Kirkwood,<br />
John Parker, Rod Yin, Barrie Herbert,<br />
Bernard Brickhill, Mario Cananzi and Mike<br />
Power. Victorian transport co-ordinator<br />
Peter Hanna was presented with his ten<br />
year certificate at this year’s Doig Medal<br />
Presentation Dinner.<br />
The following day, players and coaches<br />
held a clinic for Victorian junior members<br />
aged between 5 and 12 at Keilor Park in<br />
Melbourne’s north west. With all players<br />
in attendance, the children were treated<br />
to a fun clinic and the opportunity to meet<br />
their favourite players for an autograph<br />
and photo.<br />
The year rounded off at the annual Grand<br />
Final Cocktail Party held at Bell’s Hotel<br />
in South Melbourne on 21 September.<br />
Over 100 Victorian members, including<br />
many new members in <strong>2005</strong>, attended<br />
the evening and took the opportunity to<br />
meet with coaches and staff and enjoy<br />
the hospitality at Bell’s.<br />
Charities<br />
The club is proud of the support it gives<br />
to all organisations throughout the Western<br />
Australian community and specifically<br />
through the club’s charity programme<br />
introduced in <strong>2005</strong>, the club identifies two<br />
organisations to which the club can offer<br />
additional support. Alzheimer’s Association<br />
WA and Cerebral Palsy Association were<br />
selected as the club’s aligned charities<br />
for <strong>2005</strong>.<br />
A key component of the club’s aligned<br />
charities is the significant contribution<br />
made by players and the role they play in<br />
increasing awareness and the fundraising<br />
activities of these charities. Once again<br />
our players enthusiastically threw their<br />
energy behind these charities by becoming<br />
Ambassadors for these worthwhile<br />
causes. Troy Cook and Jeff Farmer<br />
became Ambassadors of the Cerebral Palsy<br />
Association while Paul Hasleby and Justin<br />
Longmuir joined forces with Alzheimer’s<br />
Association WA.<br />
By selecting two aligned charities in <strong>2005</strong>,<br />
the club did not curtail its continued<br />
widespread contribution to the community<br />
offering assistance in many forms<br />
throughout the year. Of special additional<br />
note during the year were assistance<br />
offered to promoting fundraising for the<br />
Breast Cancer Foundation of WA led by<br />
players Paul Medhurst, Antoni Grover<br />
and Shane Parker; captain Peter Bell’s<br />
assistance in launching the Asthma<br />
Foundation’s Phase IV of the Newborns<br />
Asthma and Parental Smoking Project; and<br />
players Brett Peake, James Walker, Peter<br />
Bell, Robert Haddrill, Paul Hasleby, Paul<br />
Duffield, Graham Polak and Antoni Grover<br />
joining forces with players from all AFL<br />
clubs to participate in a feature book ‘Footy<br />
Dogs’, dedicated to former Melbourne<br />
player Troy Broadbridge with $1.50 from<br />
every book sold donated directly to the<br />
Troy Broadbridge Fund.<br />
Community Development<br />
Programme<br />
The club’s Community Development<br />
Programme, launched in 2004 has now<br />
expanded even further in <strong>2005</strong> to be the<br />
most far reaching and inclusive community<br />
programme within the AFL. Comprising<br />
over 50 key programme initiatives, the core<br />
activities of the programme include the AFL<br />
Community Camp, Johnny ‘The Doc’ Docker<br />
Motor Skills Programme, AFL Experience<br />
clinics, the Freo Long Bomb and Team<br />
Banner Competitions, the Tuesday School<br />
of The Week programme, and the U16<br />
and U17 <strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Youth<br />
Leagues. While these core activities will<br />
continue to be expanded in 2006, many<br />
new initiatives will also be introduced.<br />
The commitment of the <strong>Fremantle</strong><br />
players to the Community Development<br />
Programme in <strong>2005</strong> was again outstanding<br />
as thousands of children were able to<br />
benefit from the educational and enjoyable<br />
initiatives each week.<br />
<strong>2005</strong> Community Camp<br />
The AFL Community Camps are an<br />
important and valuable way in which AFL<br />
clubs are able to visit regional centres<br />
to provide a unique experience for local<br />
residents that they would rarely have the<br />
opportunity of experiencing<br />
After visiting Bunbury in 2003 and<br />
Geraldton in 2004, the club ventured to the<br />
heart of the Pilbara in <strong>2005</strong> in what shaped<br />
as the largest ever regional visit ever<br />
undertaken by any AFL <strong>Club</strong>. Such was the<br />
scale of the undertaking and its importance<br />
for the AFL that the AFL’s General Manager<br />
<strong>Football</strong> Operations Adrian Anderson chose<br />
to attend the camp to witness first hand the<br />
tremendous reception for the club in the<br />
remote north west.<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Book</strong> <strong>2005</strong> 21
Chief Executive<br />
Officer’s Report <strong>2005</strong><br />
The players were divided into groups with<br />
sixteen players based in Karratha while<br />
over the first two days of camp ten players<br />
visited Port Hedland and five each ventured<br />
to Newman and Tom Price before rejoining<br />
the main group for the last day of the camp.<br />
Players visited primary and high schools,<br />
held junior clinics in each town, visited<br />
local businesses, attended community<br />
barbeques and on the last day conducted<br />
a massive junior clinic at Dampier Oval<br />
attended by more than 1000 children who<br />
stayed after the clinic to watch a team<br />
training session that saw the crowd build<br />
to more than 3,000.<br />
<strong>2005</strong> Schools Programme<br />
The Schools Programme is an integrated<br />
suite of initiatives of the Community<br />
Development Programme including the<br />
AFL Experience Clinics, a Team Banner<br />
competition, Freo Long Bomb, the School of<br />
The Week and the Johnny ‘The Doc’ Docker<br />
Motor Skills Programme. The Schools<br />
Programme continues to be boosted with<br />

students where they take children<br />
through basic warm-up exercises, balance<br />
and agility sessions and general hand-eye<br />

body awareness and motor skills.<br />
The activities are half an hour in duration<br />
and in season <strong>2005</strong>, players visited an<br />
average of three schools per fortnight in<br />
the second and third terms of the school<br />
22 <strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Book</strong> <strong>2005</strong><br />
year. Parents and teachers are provided<br />
with a resource package that allows them<br />
to continue practising the key messages<br />
and philosophies that are introduced in the<br />
initial session with the players.<br />

The School of the Week<br />
This programme initiative has once again<br />
been a huge success in <strong>2005</strong> as primary<br />
school children are given the opportunity to<br />
attend the club’s popular training session<br />
on Tuesdays at <strong>Fremantle</strong> Oval where<br />
they participate in a skills clinic, visit the<br />
players lecture theatre and view a highlights<br />
video, watching team training from their<br />
own special cordoned off area and have<br />
the opportunity to meet players and get<br />
an autograph or photo.<br />

The flagship initiative of the Community<br />
Development Programme, the U16 and U17<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Youth Leagues<br />
were expanded further throughout Western<br />
Australia during season <strong>2005</strong>. With the<br />
U17 Youth League encompassing all U17’s<br />
leagues in the Perth Metropolitan area, the<br />
focus for the U16 Youth League is regional<br />

League in 2006.<br />
With <strong>Fremantle</strong> providing resources,<br />
support and expertise to all junior<br />
competitions involved in both the U17 and<br />
U16 levels, the Youth Leagues are aimed<br />
at improving the retention level of young<br />
footballers in the game with a key feature<br />
of the youth leagues this year has been the<br />
scheduling of selected games as curtain<br />
raisers prior to each of the <strong>Fremantle</strong><br />
home games.<br />
Teams including Huntingdale, Kenwick,<br />
Noranda, Bibra Lake, West Coast,<br />

and Esperance also enjoyed tours of the<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> headquarters, a training session<br />
on <strong>Fremantle</strong> Oval, use of the club facilities<br />
and a BBQ.<br />
Freo Long Bomb<br />

will become the sister programme to Freo<br />
Long Bomb, and is an exciting kick-to-kick<br />
competition testing how many kicks can be<br />
achieved in a set time period.<br />
Team Banner Competition<br />
Students from all over Western Australia<br />
had the opportunity to enter into the <strong>2005</strong><br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Team Banner<br />
Competition earlier this year, with more<br />
than 100 entries being received to design a<br />
team banner to inspire the team as they ran<br />
onto Subiaco Oval for the game against the<br />
Western Bulldogs in Round 15.<br />
The AFL Experience Clinics in <strong>2005</strong><br />
continued to provide primary school<br />
children with a unique and personal<br />
experience as they took part in a football<br />
clinic run by <strong>Fremantle</strong> players. While<br />
teaching the basic football skills for boys<br />
and girls, the clinics are about more than<br />
as students are provided with information<br />
on nutrition, healthy living and fitness.<br />
Every <strong>Fremantle</strong> player participated in the<br />
Experience Clinics in <strong>2005</strong> as more than<br />
45 Primary Schools, over 2,500 students,<br />
visited the club throughout the year to take<br />
part in the Experience Clinics. Schools<br />
visited included Bakers Hill Primary,<br />
St Bernards Primary, Greenfields PS,<br />
Port Kennedy PS, Quinns Rocks PS, Weld<br />
Thanks again to club sponsor The Rick<br />
Hart Group, the club continued the search<br />
for the fastest young footballer playing in<br />
the U16 and U17 <strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />
Youth Leagues.<br />
With the support of the Lakewood Logistics<br />
Group, the ‘Rick Hart Challenge’ is open to<br />
all players of clubs participating in either<br />
of the leagues and clubs were open to<br />
nominate a single player to participate<br />
in a series of 100 metre sprints held at<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> Oval during the year. The fastest<br />
20 sprinters were then invited to Subiaco<br />
Oval to take part in the semi-finals, held<br />
before the round 17 and 19 games.<br />
The final of the <strong>2005</strong> Rick Hart Challenge<br />
took place prior to the start of the round<br />
21 game against St Kilda game on Friday<br />
19 August and the fastest young footballer<br />
for <strong>2005</strong> was Ben Gillett from Sorrento<br />
Duncraig Junior <strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong>, running the<br />
100 metre sprint in just 11.46 seconds.<br />
Junior <strong>Club</strong> Visits<br />
A key part of the club’s commitment to<br />
grass roots football is the role our players<br />
play with junior footballers. On Wednesday<br />
22 and Thursday 23 June this year, every<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> player visited nearly 30 junior<br />
football clubs registered in the <strong>Fremantle</strong><br />
<strong>Football</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Youth League right across the<br />
metropolitan area. <strong>Club</strong>s visited included<br />
Applecross JFC, Baldivis JFC, Ballajura<br />

Shane Parker<br />
200 Games<br />
In round 16, <strong>2005</strong> on the<br />
hallowed turf of the MCG<br />
Shane Parker etched his<br />
name in history as the<br />
first player to play 200<br />
games for the club.<br />
His opportunity to<br />
play at the elite<br />
level came with the<br />
formation of the<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong> <strong>Football</strong><br />
<strong>Club</strong> and from<br />
humble beginnings<br />
he has forged<br />
an impressive<br />
career spanning<br />
eleven seasons<br />
and 206 games<br />
to be <strong>Fremantle</strong>’s<br />
games record<br />
holder. It’s no<br />
coincidence that<br />
<strong>Fremantle</strong>’s first<br />
win in the AFL coincided<br />
with Parker’s debut in<br />
round 3, 1995 against<br />
Fitzroy at the Western Oval.<br />
A model of consistency in<br />
the heart of <strong>Fremantle</strong>’s<br />
defence he is a well liked<br />
and respected senior<br />
member of the playing group.<br />
