  • The History of the South Fremantle Football Club
    The History of the South Fremantle Football Club South Fremantle Football Club, nicknamed The Bulldogs, is a semi-professional Australian Rules Football Club and one of nine clubs that compete in the West Australian Football League (WAFL). It was formed in 1900 and has its training, administration and home games at Fremantle Oval. History The Fremantle Football Club (originally known as Unions and unrelated to either an earlier club which actually played rugby as well, or the current AFL club of the same name) had won ten premierships in the fourteen years that they were in the WA Football Association (now known as the West Australian Football League). By 1899, however, the club suffered from financial problems that caused the club to disband. The South Fremantle Football Club was formed to take their place following an application to the league by Griff John, who would be appointed secretary of the new club, with Tom O'Beirne the inaugural president. Most players, however, were from the defunct Fremantle club. The new club did well in its first year, finishing runners-up. However, over the next three seasons the performance fell away badly and, in April 1904 a Fremantle newspaper confidently reported that South Fremantle would not appear again. However, the club decided to carry on and centreman Harry Hodge took over as skipper, but the season was a disaster. The club won only one game. They won their first premiership in 1916 and went back-to-back in 1917, both times defeating their local rivals, East Fremantle in the final and challenge final.

  • South Fremantle
    Introduction South Fremantle’s illustrious football history is one littered with many outstanding events, feats of champion footballers, champion teams and selfless dedication by committed coaches, officials and administrators. All have kept our great club at the forefront of football in Western Australia for over a century. Hundreds of players, coaches and administrators were researched, analysed discussed, compared and finally voted on to arrive at 45 names for induction into the Inaugural Hall of Fame. The final judgement was on overall contribution, quality of performance and the significance of an individual’s impact at South Fremantle and Western Australian Football. Players, coaches, officials and administrators who began their association with our club, post 1980, were not considered for selection, however, their time will come in the not too distant future when the second intake occurs. The above is a brief summary of the clubs intention to recognise and enshrine those people who have made an outstanding contribution to our history. This prestigious event will also exist and act to inspire future generations to build on the club’s successes and in doing so, preserve our pre-eminent status in the WAFL and sporting community. Special thanks to the Chairman of the Hall of Fame selection committee, Terry Dean, who was also ably assisted by Club Historian, Dr Steve Errington, John Todd, Murray MacDonald, Jim Christie and Richard Woodgate, with the Vice President, Peter Christie representing the Board, as an observer and CEO Brian
