Wearing seven at Fremantle may come with its own set of expectations, but as a member of the WAWFL Team of the Decade from 2000-2010, Amy Lavell was more than capable of making the number her own. To Lavell, her connection with the number came through one of her best friends – a Freo fan whose favourite number was seven. Sadly, she would never see Lavell pull on the chevrons, passing away a year before the AFLW was established. So when numbers were allocated to Freo’s inaugural side, Lavell requested her friend’s favourite number as a tribute. Because of this tribute, Lavell found she had someone else at the club looking out for her. Ahead of Fremantle’s AFLW home opener on Sunday 12 February SEVENTH HEAVEN: at , Lavell arrived and Lavell and Fyfe are happy opened the locker that she shared to share the no.7. with the Fremantle men’s captain.
