With all the hype about the ferocity and prevelence of our sharks, would it not be kind of cool to have been The Sharks, I guess they didn't want to marginalise people on WAFL lines. Would it be a good idea to rebrand as the Sharks?

Only problem is we've already been seduced by many Drum lines......(most of them lame)

Never been much of a fan of the 'Dockers' nickname, only thing I don't like about the re-branding is having plastered all over everything now.

Isn't 'Docker' a Victorian word for a shipyard worker anyway? I thought it was always Wharfie over here.

In saying that I've never heard or thought of anything much better, I just usually think of the club as Fremantle FC or 'Freo'.

Marketing thing as well, Greg had the shark.

Given the circus we had until a few years ago I told my sharks supporting mate that i'd have preferred they grew the club out of East Freo back then, at least we'd have had a better culture to build on (I go for souths).

I haven't been able to watch the game when we wore old easts jumpers against sydney, & I don't think I ever will.
We used to live in east Freo territory & thankfully I was never good enough to play anything better than club footy, but Junior is a jet, & we moved interstate.
I do have some fond memories of east Freo oval, & I even went to a wake there once, but I am far to South Freo to ever get seriously involved (being a fan means entering a relationship with a club IMO) with east Freo.
