I have one signed by most of the 2006 squad. Went to training with my dad as a kid. Still have it in the cupboard

Damn, what a shameI have one
Who said that Bob Murphy is too inexperienced to make a good manager.
Early in his career, he already has "Going forward" down pat.
For mine, the chevrons are much more a part of our history than the anchor.
The chevrons were taken directly from the jumper of the original Fremantle Football Club that played in the WAFL in the 1800s.
That time in the early 2000s when we used the original FFC strip (white jumper with red chevrons, black shorts) was probably one of the best heritage strips we have ever used. Our current jumper design is derived from that.
Its the design we wore at the 2013 GF and the design under which we played our best seasons.
Keep the chevrons! Give up the anchor!

No anchor please. Lousy symbolism and Feng Shui faux pas.
Anchors sink to the bottom, they are a deadweight, you aint going nowhere when you drop anchor. Replace it with anything - a dolphin, bullshark, stingray, buccaneer, mariner, crayfish - anything.
OK, maybe not a crayfish.

44 is not a bad number. At least one Brownlow medallist wore it.
DRAGONS FFC Or, when things are chaotic and scary, you through the anchor out for support and stability.
From what I understand, we are not moving away from the purple or the chevrons. However the anchor is also a part of our DNA, and it will be coming back. This is being driven by the playing group, turning around the negative connotations that are associated with it.
The fact that the group is embracing ALL of the club's history, the good and the bad, is huge.
I'll go as far as anchor for one-off roads like Indigenous and Heritage

yes, you could think of anchors weighing you down. but that attitude is for losers.
personally i think we should rethink our assumptions.
the anchor should now be considered either a bludgeoning weapon, or a thing that helps you survive storms,...etc.

I always saw the anchor as a strong symbol. Feel like it reflects hard work and perseverence more than anything else. Any symbol can look bad if you lose in it enough, which we did for most of our first 10 years.
