Fremantle will take on Carlton on Sunday 3 August for their Round 21 Retro Round clash at Optus Stadium. Bounce down for the match is at 3.10pm WST.

For this year’s Retro Round, Freo are going all the way back to 2003 to celebrate the design of its very first Purple Haze jumper, worn against Richmond in Round 18 at Subiaco Oval.
 
The Club’s home design at the time was originally updated in 2003 for the Purple Haze game, removing the red and green from the chest and leaving a two-tone purple and white anchor design.
 
Freo are also bringing back retro pricing for Retro Round, with $22 tickets to this weekend's game available for a limited time only. The old-school anchor jumper and ticket prices like it's 2003 all over again, this is a deal too good to turn down. You'll need to be quick as limited availability applies on this special offer.

Additionally, you could win a trip for four to the 2025 Toyota AFL Grand Final simply by attending our Round 21 match vs Carlton, whether you're an attending member or a ticket purchaser. The Grand Final Prize includes two tickets to the 2025 Toyota AFL Grand Final, return airfares with Virgin Australia from Perth to Melbourne for two people up to the maximum value of $2,000 and two nights’ accommodation for two people / one room up to the maximum value of $1000.
