Reference numberV0044DescriptionContent Note: Birth of the Dockers --Anchors away
The "Birth of the Dockers" traces the brief history of the establishment of an Australian Rules football team in Fremantle. This historical look at the strong traditions of football in the Fremantle area links the ties with the 1880's teams to the present fledgling club. It outlines the early discussions, the debate on the choice of the name `Dockers', the speculation surrounding the unveiling of the new colours (red, green, purple and white), the management personnel and coaching staff, and concludes with interviews focussing on the local and interstate football players chosen to represent the club. "Anchors away" is a record of the Fremantle Football Club's historic first victory over Fitzroy in the 3rd game of their first season of 1995. Played at the Western Oval in Melbourne on 15th April, 1995 , the Dockers won the game by 39 pointsImprintSouth Yarra, Vic. : Visual Entertainment Group [producer and distributor], 1995Collation2 DVDs 180 mins.LanguageEnglishBorn DigitalNoVideo FormatDVDDigital ItemNo
