Fremantle’s Rich Football Heritage THE AFL DEDICATED Round 19 to the theme of football's heritage, recognising the traditions and history of the game. Australian football clubs are among the oldest sporting clubs in the world and the intention of the Round 19 events was to support the fans' love of the game and for their team. The Fremantle Football Club wore a jumper its Round 19 game against the Kangaroos at the MCG that had its origins in that worn by the Fremantle Football Club that contested the first premiership in 1885. In that year, the premiership was contested by 4 Clubs – Rovers (predecessor of the Perth Football Club), Victorians and Perth High School all of which were Perth leaving Unions as the only based plus Fremantle, who Fremantle team. Unions wore a red and white playing adopted Fremantle’s red and strip. Perth High School white playing uniforms that withdrew after only a couple year and in 1890, they of matches.

Fremantle won 1888 and 1889 as Unions all seven matches contested. and in 1890 as Fremantle. The Club’s inaugural captain Between 1892 and 1896 was Bill Bateman. Fremantle won five In 1887, Fremantle did not consecutive flags and were continue in the competition again successful in 1898, the Club’s last season. The Club folded reputedly over a dispute with players over uniforms and train fares. In 1898 a new club emerged at the Port, East Fremantle, wearing the blue and white they continue to wear today, and broke through for its first premiership in 1900, the year that also saw South Fremantle, wearing red and white, admitted to the competition. Interestingly, in 1901 North Fremantle was admitted to the competition and with limited success would last only 15 seasons in the competition. East and South Fremantle have since gone on to forge one of the most intense rivalries in football and the wearing of the red and white jumper of the original Fremantle Football Club in the Heritage Round against the Kangaroos recognises the rich football heritage of Fremantle.

22 Fremantle Football Club Docker News September 03 Coming soon…

In SPY KIDS 3D: GAME OVER secret agent siblings Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni (Daryl Sabara) Cortez are back and on their most mind-blowing mission yet. When Carmen gets lost inside a new video game created by the power hungry ToyMaker, Juni is called into action. Journeying inside the virtual reality world, Juni must battle levels of increasing difficulty to find Carmen so that they can join forces to outwit and defeat the ToyMaker’s final, fifth level, and shut down the game before it’s GAME OVER for everyone. This time most of the action is in 3D, bringing the awe-inspiring graphics and creatures of gaming to real life for eye-popping excitement on screen through the use of special viewing glasses. Action film veteran Sylvester Stallone plays the villain, the ToyMaker, a nemesis of the Cortez family, who has created the game as a trap to take over the youth of the world. Ricardo Montalban makes a comeback as the Spy Kids’ grandfather, a veteran spy who plays a pivotal role in their mission. Antonio Banderas and Carla Cugino reprise their roles as spy- parents Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez. Also returning are Steve Buscemi as the mad scientist Romero, Alan Cumming as Floop, Mike Judge as Donnagon, Bill Paxton as Dinky Winks, with Cheech Marin as Uncle Felix, Danny Trejo as Machete and Holland Taylor as Grandma Cortez. In this last chapter of the Spy Kids trilogy, the film also stars Salma Hayek as OSS agent Cesca Giggles and George Clooney making a return cameo with one or two surprise cameos along the way.
