Fremantle (Unions)



Initially known as 'Unions'...Fremantle proved to be the WAFA’s dominant club for much of the 1890s, winning no fewer than seven of the ten premierships for the decade. However, the departure in 1898 of Thurgood and several of the other champions precipitated a marked downturn in fortunes, both on and off the field.
