Robert "Robbie" Haddrill (born 28 January 1981) is a defender for the South Fremantle Football Club, having previously played for the Fremantle Dockers in the AFL for seven seasons.
The South Fremantle Football Club, nicknamed the Bulldogs, is an Australian rules football club, based in Fremantle, Western Australia, playing in the West Australian Football League (WAFL). It was formed in 1900 and plays its home games at Fremantle Oval.
The Fremantle Football Club, nicknamed the Dockers, is a professional Australian rules football team that competes in the Australian Football League (AFL). The club represents and was previously based in the port city of Fremantle at the mouth of the Swan River in Western Australia and now has their training and headquarters at Cockburn ARC in Cockburn Central. In 1995 it became the second team from Western Australia after the West Coast Eagles to be admitted to the AFL, honouring the rich footballing tradition and history associated with Fremantle.
The Australian Football League (AFL) is the pre-eminent professional competition of Australian rules football in Australia. Through the AFL Commission, the AFL also serves as the sport's governing body, and is responsible for controlling the laws of the game. The league was founded as the Victorian Football League (VFL) as a breakaway from the previous Victorian Football Association (VFA), with its inaugural season commencing in 1897. Originally comprising only teams based in the Australian state of Victoria, the competition's name was changed to the Australian Football League for the 1990 season, after expanding to other states throughout the 1980s.
Haddrill attended Aquinas College, Perth before being drafted from the Perth Football Club in the WAFL in the 2000 Rookie Draft. He was elevated to the senior list during the 2001 season but his AFL career was riddled with injuries. Despite a presence on the Fremantle list for seven seasons, of his 58 AFL games he played 45 in 2003 and 2004. He played the final 8 games of 2001 before missing the entire 2002 season with a knee injury. He returned in 2003 to play all 23 games, including Fremantle's first final. His good form continued through 2004 and was rewarded with selection in the Australian International Rules team that toured Ireland. From 2005 to 2007, however, he was affected by ankle, knee and hamstring injures that restricted Haddrill to only 5 games in total, with only single appearances in 2006 and 2007. Following his delisting at the end of the 2007 season Haddrill switched WAFL clubs to join South Fremantle. [1]

Aquinas opened in 1938 when boarders and day students from Christian Brothers College moved to the new campus at Salter Point. The history of Aquinas begins with CBC Perth which was founded in 1894 in the centre of Perth. Aquinas was the beneficiary of CBC Perth history, honours and achievements for the period 1894–1937.
