The Fremantle Football Club have proudly inducted Chris Bond and Tony Godden as Life Members for their contributions as both players and administrators.
They become the 32nd and 33rd Life Members of the Club.
Bond played at Fremantle in 1998 and 1999, serving as captain in his second year.
In 2007, he returned to the Club in an administrative capacity, working as the General Manager of List Development in 2007 and as the General Manager of Football Operations between 2008 and 2018.
Godden was a player for Fremantle between 1996 and 1998, and for the past 18 years he has been the lead of Fremantle’s merchandise operations.
There is no greater honour that can be bestowed by the Fremantle Dockers Football Club than Life Membership and both Bond and Godden spoke of their delight in joining the prestigious group.
"It's a really significant honour, I'm rapt and incredibly proud," Bond said.
"I've been in footy for a long time and when I was told by (CEO) Simon Garlick, that made me a bit emotional. It means a great deal and it will do for a long time."
"It's a huge honour. It's something I'm really proud of and quite emotional about," Godden said.
"You look forward to going to work. Everyone has the same goal to make the Club better. I"m really excited with where the Club is headed, the future is looking really good."
Fremantle also recognised inaugural board member Ron Alexander with the Con Regan Medal.
Named after the Club’s inaugural football manager and WA football great Con Regan, the Medal recognises an extraordinary, inspirational and dedicated personal contribution to the Fremantle Football Club outside of the competitive arena.
Alexander was very hands on in his approach as a director and played a crucial role in developing the Club’s financial plan, name, colours, selecting coaching staff and assembling the list. He was also the Club’s chairman of selectors between 1995 to 1998.
