Thanks JTH
It looked a bit almanac lite at first viewing but it’s early days.
If you want something with a little more bite… something from a current player’s viewpoint then try…

It is about time you smartened the site up Les, bloody disgrace it went on for that long. Anyone would think that you have been writing a book or something. Love to the Frank-in-furter!
PRESS RELEASE
Freo Homeless Unite in Song to Support the Dockers
A brand new support song for the Dockers written by WAM award winning songwriter Dilip Parekh, from WA’s popular dance band – Dilip n the DAVs, recorded with the Starlight Hotel Choir from St Patricks Community Service Centre (Homeless Shelter) in Fremantle has just been released in time for the finals.
The spectacular recent successes of the Fremantle Dockers have brought to the Port City a united sense of community through sport. The Starlight Hotel Choir, led by well known local musicians Dave Johnson and Peter Anthony have been in operation for quite a number of years and have teamed up with one of Freo’s heavyweight local songwriting performers – Dilip Parekh – to record a song that will unite all Dockers fans on the road to victory
Music is a powerful means of bringing people together and recording this joyful uplifting song has helped greatly to encourage members of the choir, many of whom exist on the periphery of society, to join together with the rest of the community in a common goal . Feel the sense of community and excitement when hearing this song, it is what it is; an enthusiastic and engaging musical tribute to an idea that binds the Freo community together. Forever you, Forever me, Forever Free, Forever Freo !
