		But with more than a third of the season done and dusted, the Dockers find themselves languishing in 13th place with a disappointing 3-5 win-loss record and seemingly out of the race for a top four spot, which is vital if any side is serious about challenging for the flag.
		Fremantle chairman Rick Hart came out in support of his under siege coach today; "The wheels would have to fall off drastically for Chris not to finish the season," he said.
		The Dockers fell one step short in 2006, a breakthrough year for the club, with Fremantle winning the first final in the club's short but tumultous history, eventually going down to Sydney in the preliminary final.

	Fremantle Football Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fremantle Football Club, nicknamed The Dockers and also commonly known as "Freo", is one of 16 teams in the Australian Football League.
		The club is based in the port city of Fremantle, west of Perth at the mouth of the Swan River.
		Fremantle's official colours are purple, red and green and the centrepiece of their emblem, an anchor, reflects the city's maritime links and heritage.

		The weather was shocking, the umpires made the weather look good and Fremantle were behind for most of the day but in a thrilling finish the Dockers dug deep into their bags of courage and over ran the Lions in the dying stages of the game.
		The Dockers broke quickly and Pavlich did his bowling ball impression down the centre (the Lions were kind enough to do their bowling pin impressions).
		Fremantle were back within 10 points of the reigning premiers, the clock was ticking down and they were kicking with a 10 goal breeze in the last quarter - you can pretty much work out for yourself what happens next.

	Fremantle
		East Fremantle and South Fremantle, however, would go on to forge one of the greatest and most intense rivalries in Australian sport; known as 'Fremantle Derbies', their confrontations frequently produced the competition's highest attendances for the year, not to mention some of the best - and most bruising - football.
		The links established between East Fremantle and Port Adelaide over the years, for instance, might be said to have contributed in no small measure to the rare, indeed almost unique, mutual rapport and respect which currently exists at AFL level between the Dockers and the Power (see footnote 8).
		The Dockers, from the start, were keen to enmesh themselves in the fabric of local football history by, for example, the establishment in 1995 of a 'Hall of Legends' which recognised and celebrated the contributions made to football in Fremantle by a range of former East Fremantle and South Fremantle identities.

		Fremantle's inaugural coach, Gerard Neesham, who coached the Dockers to an ostensibly paltry success rate of 36.4% over 4 seasons, but who was seriously handicapped by a lack of recruiting concessions from the AFL.
		Fremantle's first win arrived the following week, as a desperately poor Fitzroy team was comprehensively swept aside to the tune of 43 points at the Western Oval.
		The history of football in Fremantle is long, colourful, vibrant and fascinating and, despite an early lack of success, there seems every reason to expect that the future contributions made to that history by the AFL club which now proudly bears the port city's name will both conform to and enhance those traditions.

		In what has become a tradition at the City of Fremantle, the Dockers flag is always flown when the team is victorious over the West Coast Eagles – and it continues to take pride of place as long as the Dockers keep winning.
		City of Fremantle Mayor Peter Tagliaferri believes it is a more powerful motivator than various other methods used by psychologists, as it shows the strength of support for the Dockers team.
		The Dockers are now to set to take on St Kilda at Subiaco Oval on Saturday afternoon – last time they met, in 2003, Fremantle defeated St Kilda by 41 points (123-82), although St Kilda are yet to be beaten in 2004.

	Australian Journal of Anthropology, The: Home and away: the grounding of new football teams in Perth, Western Australia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		However, the Fremantle Dockers and Perth Glory have had very different and much more problematic experiences in terms both of establishing an acceptable, or at least a marketable, identity and in obtaining suitable premises for their operations.
		With the entry of the Dockers into the AFL in 1995, it was therefore unsurprising that a whole series of place specific marketing initiatives accompanied the decision to position the team (at least in advertising terms) in Fremantle.
		The name 'Dockers' and the near socialist realism of its logo, featuring a labourer and an anchor, provide a clear association with the port--even though most Australians might see 'docker' as an undesirably Pommy way of describing a wharfie and, furthermore, the port itself is now largely automated.

		With Matthew Pavlich scoring a career high, as well as a number of midfielders showing strength to get their team across the line, Fremantle came to within six points until the final siren was blown, dismantling a miracle of a comeback from the Dockers.
		Followed by an another quick play by the Dockers, youngster Graham Polak was able to mark convincingly in the pack and burst open the game with only two minutes to spare and a kick between victory and defeat.
		As Fremantle try to resurrect their finals chances, they will be anticipating playing against the Western Bulldogs at their home Subiaco, where they have been running hot and cold at all season.
