Selection criteria

The main selection criteria for players selected in the team was that they must have played 100 games for either of the Fremantle-based WAFA/WAFL/WANFL clubs. The players must have also been significant figures in Australian rules football and their club(s).

Selectors

Choosing the team were:

  • John O'Connell (Claremont Football Club player) – chairman
  • Brian Atkinson – football historian
  • Tony Parentich (South Fremantle Football Club player)
  • Laurie Nugent (East Fremantle Football Club player)
  • Trevor Sprigg (East Fremantle Football Club player)
  • George Grljusich – football commentator
  • Team

    The final selected team was announced at the Foundation Day Derby Ball on 2 June 2007. It also involved the commissioning of a jumper to commemorate the team which consisted of the colours of the two Fremantle WAFL teams. The sleeveless jumper is predominantly white with red trimming around the neck and sleeve lines and two blue thin hoops around the stomach region with a Titan holding a shield in the left hand and sword in the right. The word "Fremantle" is above the Titan and "Legends" is below the Titan.
