Just a week til Christmas, still plenty of time to get in and grab a bunch of copies of the book from presents for the whole family! Check out the beautiful banners hanging in the shop windows with the book in all its glory 🙌🏻
Finally wrapping up our interview series is arguably Fremantles greatest ever player, Matthew Pavlich 🙌🏻⚓️
To continue our Interview series we have a young collector with a very early and special jumper to contribute to the book. This is the final “fan” interview and leaves just one very special interview to come to wrap up the series, so make sure you keep an eye out for that (full podcast length interview) next Friday night!
Down to our final 3 interviews from our interview series, this one was with a great bloke and fairly new collector to the scene (but great jumper), Raff Di Bartolomeo

Vale Neil Turner (1950-2025).
It was an absolute honour to speak with Neil last year, as part of the process of putting The Fibre of Freo together. Neil's design legacy stretches back decades, and his fingerprints are on icons including the modern Boxing Kangaroo - which his studio designed for Bond Corporation during the Australia II's triumphant 1983 America's Cup campaign - and the original Fremantle Dockers home jumper. Engaged in secret to design a new jumper ahead of the 1995 season, Neil is credited with putting the purple in Freo. As he told it, he was inspired to do so by the colour of the sun-faded blue singlets worn on the docks at Fremantle Port. The rest is history. What a remarkable legacy.
Our thoughts are with the Turner family at this difficult time.
