Voting information went out to members this week but there are plenty of other supporters who would like to know a bit about the people who might be running their footy club over the next year or two.
I have a keen desire to assist the club in it's endeavours to become a powerful on field team.
As a passionate supporter I have a huge desire to see out club win greater respect and ultimately their first premiership. As a former Australian Champion in athletics and having represented WA in football I have a sound understanding of the needs of the coaching, players and administration staff, as they with the members support, prepare to win a premiership. I will help fulfil these needs.

Paul Masten is a commercial lawyer who is a Fremantle resident; Fremantle business proprietor; and passionate supporter of the Fremantle Football Club.
I am married, have three children and reside in North Fremantle. One of my passions in life is football. I have been re-elected for eight years as President of the North Fremantle Football Amateur Club and privileged to be a Life Member of this great club. I have also played 215 games of Amateur football. Through my role as President I understand what it takes to serve others in the community and I strongly believe in grass-roots football, together with the important role football plays in the wider community. I am the Managing Director of a wealth management group in Subiaco and have a comprehensive background in financial and risk management. 
Having been born a short handball away from the East Fremantle Oval and growing up with Saturday afternoon at the footy with my father, brothers, uncles, aunts and cousins, my passion for Fremantle football was nurtured at a very early age. From the moment the Fremantle Football Club was born I was a supporter.
I come from a fifth generation quality working class Fremantle family. I am the owner and managing director of a successful internationally recognised business headquartered in Fremantle with an annual turnover of $29.5 million. As a demonstration of my commitment to the FFC my company has been a corporate sponsor for many years but I also personally hold family membership whereby my wife and sons regularly attend games in the outer. My background and passion for the FFC to succeed makes be an ideal candidate. I consider myself a barometer of the passionate Fremantle supporter and am prepared to table the questions that need to be asked. I believe I can bring fresh, lateral thinking and most importantly common sense approach to the performance of the club. At 45 years old I still have the energy and drive required to make a difference. 
We all love that feeling of walking from the ground after a match, with the sight of a Fremantle winning goal in our mind, match points under our belt, and the Dockers passion alive. I want respect for our club off the field too. I will strive to achieve success on all fronts for out club. Together our goals are attainable, each season is a step closer to our ultimate goal, the AFL Cup. I want to be part of that successful plan. I have the expertise in management both private and public entities, with excellent personal communication skills. I believe we need to display courage, accountability, strength and a unified front. Decisions we are confident in. Decisions that give due regard to dignity, as well as success.
