South Fremantle Team of the Modern Era

Wednesday, April 30, 2014 - 3:28 AM by Chris Pike

THE South Fremantle Football Club will be announcing its Team of the Modern Era from 1987 onwards at a gala function on Saturday May 31 and you have the chance to get in on the fun.

A competition will be held where members of the public can predict their team and whoever gets the closest to picking the final 24 players will receive a signed South Fremantle Football Club jumper from the 2014 season.
The winning entry will be announced on Tuesday June 3 following the event on the Saturday night and then the Foundation Derby with East Fremantle at East Fremantle Oval on Monday.
You can submit your list of 24 players you believe will be selected in the Team of the Modern Era from 1987 onwards two ways – by submitting it on the club's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/southfremantlefc) or on email at bulldogs@sffc.com.au.
In preparation of the event, the South Fremantle Football Club's website will be running a feature once a week over the next month looking at the players in the mix of making the team – starting with the defenders, then midfielders, forwards and ruckmen.
Picking a team has not been an easy task for those picking the official team and sure won't be for any supporter looking to have a go at entering the competition.
Since 1987, South Fremantle has won premierships in 1997, 2005 and 2009 so there are naturally around 50 premiership players that go in the running.
The Bulldogs have made the finals 16 times since 1987 as well while having two winners of the Sandover Medal, six State game and grand final Simpson Medallists, three Bernie Naylor Medal winners, 73 players who have entered the AFL and another 51 who have represented Western Australia.
There are also another 38 South Fremantle players to have played at least 100 WAFL matches in that time.
The Team of the Modern Era function will be held at the Griff John Function Centre at Fremantle Oval on Saturday May 31. It commences at 7.00pm with tickets available at bulldogs@sffc.com.au or on (08) 9335 1555.
