The auction is now live until Friday 27 October and gives fans the opportunity to bid on the players' match-worn & signed home jumpers, designed by Kayley Emery and Peter Farmer Jnr with Peter Farmer Designs in collaboration with Colleen Hayward and Jason Barrow.

The jumper tells the story of the Club being born from Walyalup, the area now known as Fremantle, highlighting these through the colours of the South Fremantle and East Fremantle Football Clubs.
The pattern that illustrates the chevrons represent the bonds created from women meeting, working and celebrating together – forming a pattern similar to thick anchor ropes, while above the chevrons is another symbol featuring 21 figures, illustrating the 21 players who will run out and wear the jumper on game day against St Kilda.
