Fremantle Dockers celebrate Retro Round as players and staff bring out old school gear at training

Fremantle headed back in time on Tuesday, with the entire staff and players showcasing uniforms from the past as they celebrate Retro Round.
The Dockers will wear a purple jumper with a white anchor against Carlton on Sunday as a nod to the uniform which was introduced in 2003.
But Tuesday was a day for gear from many eras, with development coach Tendai Mzungu rocking a jacket with the old school purple, green and red.
Forward Murphy Reid wasn’t even born when the Dockers first wore the uniform they’ll run out in this week. But he said the players were enjoying the throwback and the jumper.
“It’s pretty cool. I wouldn’t mind seeing it as the actual jumper. I haven’t seen anything like it yet. It’ll be cool to wear it,” Reid said.
“It was before my time but you see photos of Pav wearing it but it was a little bit before my time.
“We had a bit of a retro theme going on today. We’re keen to put it on and embrace it. All the boys get around it. The media team loves it. They get all of the videos and photos of everyone to see who does it best. It brings a bit of a buzz around.”
Tuesday’s session was the club’s lightest of the week with a focus on recovery but Cooper Simpson showed he could be just as handy with a soccer ball as he is with a footy. Simpson’s ability to control the round ball was impressive.
Simpson made his return from injury for Peel last weekend, collecting 11 disposals.
Key forward Jye Amiss continues to train by himself during the early week recovery sessions. While his teammates play small games, Amiss is constantly working on his body.
Amiss kicked three goals in the western derby in a promising display.
