Clive Waterhouse is a cult hero at Fremantle.

We have heard about Fremantle champions like Matthew Pavlich and Aaron Sandilands throughout AFL history, now its time for some other Dockers to get their turn in the spotlight.

Here are Fremantle’s Forgotten Favourites.

Greg Broughton

Pick No. 74, 2009 Rookie Draft

Games: 68 (2009-12)

As well as being a solid player for the Dockers, Broughton was a SuperCoach lord for his first three seasons, averaging over 90.

In just his eighth game, Broughton scored 159 points and immediately found a place in the heart of SuperCoaches forever.

The ultimate cash cow played three years at Fremantle before he and Pick 58 were traded to Gold Coast for Pick 36 in 2012.

Kepler Bradley

Pick No. 69, 2007 National Draft

Games: 68 (2008-14)

Kepler Bradley celebrates a goal.

One of the most unique names in AFL history, Bradley was given a second chance after being turfed by Essendon at the end of 2007.

He became a cult hero at the Dockers, as he kicked three bags of four against North Melbourne, Western Bulldogs and Richmond.

Unfortunately, his career came to an end as he underwent a knee reconstruction after round five in 2013 and never played again.

Ryan Murphy

Pick No. 12, 2003 National Draft

Games: 48 (2004-10)

Ryan Murphy of Fremantle takes a big hit.

The former first round draft pick had quite the unique career at Fremantle.

In his debut against the Crows, while the Dockers won, Murphy personally didn’t record a stat and only played 27 per cent of the game.

Yet he had a better game the week after, picking up six touches and two tackles.

In his second to last game, also against the Crows, Murphy kicked Fremantle’s only goal at Football Park as the Dockers recorded their lowest ever score.

Scott Thornton

Pick No. 66, 2000 National Draft

Games: 88 (2002-09)

Fremantle mascot Johnny 'The Doc' Docker and Scott Thornton.

Thornton became a reliable player for the Dockers after he was scooped up late in the 2000 National Draft.

The defender, who looked remarkably like the Fremantle mascot, was in and out of the Fremantle side and played in three grand finals at WAFL level with South Fremantle.

Robert Haddrill

Pick No. 18, 2000 Rookie Draft

Games: 58 (2001-07)

Matthew Lloyd and Robert Haddrill.

The defender’s career was unfortunately cruelled by injuries, with his peak coming in 2003 and 2004 as he played in every game.

Yet, he played just five more games in the next three seasons before he was delisted.

He also holds the Fremantle record for the most games from debut without scoring a goal as he ended his career without a major.

Clive Waterhouse

Pick No. 1, 1995 National Draft

Games: 106 (1996-2004)

Hardly forgotten and endlessly loved, Clive Waterhouse is the AFL’s cult hero.

With not only the name, but the hair and the look, Waterhouse was a force at his peak, kicking 178 goals in his 106 games.

His best moment came in the Demolition Derby as he helped spark a comeback from seven goals down in the third quarter to win.

Post-career he returned to Port Adelaide and he kicked 71 goals in 2005 before injuring his ACL again in 2007.

Chris Groom

Traded from Adelaide for Andrew McLeod

Games: 7 (1995)

Poor Chris Groom, he’s forever known as the other player in the trade to get Andrew McLeod to the Adelaide Crows.

Groom, after playing 12 games for the Crows moved the Dockers for one year and kicked 18 goals, including five against Collingwood.

He was then delisted by the Dockers at the end of the season.

Byron Schammer

Pick No. 13, 2002 National Draft

Games: 129 (2003-11)

Docker Byron Schammer celebrates after kicking a goal to help beat the Brisbane Lions by 3 points.

Byron Schammer was scooped up with a first-round pick in the 2002 draft and hit the ground running as the Dockers made the finals for the first time.

He was a regular in the Dockers’ midfield until 2010, when he struggled to maintain his place in the AFL side.

Schammer retired in 2011, and went onto play with Claremont’s premiership side in the WAFL that season.

Marcus Drum

Pick No. 10, 2005 National Draft

Games: 22 (2006-09)

Marcus Drum and Jeff Farmer celebrate a win.

A first-round draft pick who was never able to secure his spot in the Fremantle side thanks to injuries, playing in just 22 games during his career.

He played out the end of the 2009 season in the Dockers’ side including having 13 touches and eight tackles against Geelong.

Randomly, at the end of the season he requested a trade to the Cats and moved across for Pick 49.

He never played a game with the Cats in an injury-riddled tenure and retired at the end of 2011.

Jack Hannath

Pick No. 8, 2013 Pre-Season Draft

Games: 20 (2013-16)

Fremantle's Jack Hannath gets a handball away.

“Cometh the moment, cometh the Hannath.”

The towering lad from the Barossa Valley made an impact in his first season, playing 12 games but missed out playing in the finals as the Dockers made the grand final.

Hannath played a further eight games, with his last being a loss to Collingwood in 2016.
