Many of us out west are thrilled to see the meteoric rise of the Freo Dockers. Week after week, our team is doing us proud on the field. But many supporters are asking a simple question: why shouldn't our club have a sponsor that we can actually be proud of? Woodside's logo is everywhere. It's on our players. It's on the pitch. It's on our very fan T-shirts. But many Freo fans have had enough. That's why I am proud to support the Woodside, Get Off My Chest campaign.

Woodside has spent years trying to buy our community's trust through sponsorships and advertising, trying to buy goodwill to polish its dirty, polluting image. This isn't about taking away from the club or about reducing money for the club. In fact, Freo members contribute more than twice as much to the Dockers as all corporate sponsors combined.

Really, Freo fans deserve better than a sponsor accused of greenwashing. They deserve better than a company driving new fossil fuel projects, threatening ecosystems like Scott Reef and damaging important cultural heritage. And let's be clear: gas corporations like Woodside should be paying their fair share of tax. They're driving up Australians' energy bills while reaping enormous profits. So to Freo members, join the Woodside, Get Off My Chest campaign. And to the Fremantle Football Club: listen to your supporters. It's time to give Woodside the old heave-ho.
