Data from footywire. To check the draft order see the thread here.

Footywire says: "While we make every effort to keep up to date with player contracts, it is likely that our data may at times be out of date, incomplete or inaccurate. If you find any player contracts that need updating, please let us know using our brand new contract submission form."

Quality thread.

Would read again.

Maybe update the thread to 2026 version and lets see how this goes

Freo top 4 in 2026

Would think 2026 off-season will also be quiet. Nobody super important out of contract.

Sturt, Switowski and Voss will be done earlyish you think.

Will they have a target?

They might potentially have a crack at Ed Allan if he doesn't cement a spot at Collingwood. David Walls loves hounding down and eventually trading for guys that he liked predraft

Voss done, would expect Switta to follow soon.

Sturt will be lucky to last another year. He’s been ****ed with injuries from the start of his career.

Wagner and Johnson the others that should be done soonish.

Fremantle are locked and loaded for a real tilt at the flag the next 5-7 years and there is only 1 thing holding them back
They need a good coach as JL is not the man to take them to their 1st flag and break the drought.

Maybe.

It is definitely a gearshift going from rebuilding to attacking, and Longmuir may not be able to make that change. But there are enough indicators that he may be able to.

List changes are a decent indicator, and these characteristics stand out:

• the forward line has been built into an attacking and powerful unit. The addition of fast, attacking smalls who can also defend compliments and aggressive group of mobile, physical KPFs.
• Young fit and healthy is a keystone for the midfield. There are question marks over what level Johnson and Erasmus get to, but they are at the minimum going to be useful big bodies. And I think Jackson is going to cause oppositions even more sleepless nights.
• speed in transition will improve by the addition of McVee, the development of Simpson, and the return of Walker. Clark will lead a skilled, express paced running brigade.

All those changes reflect a coach who knows what needs to happen and that the timing is right to shift gears.

Hopefully you are correct, but if they keep moving the ball like a glacier than they will never compete.

Fremantle is a team thats ready to go to the next level and i believe they can in 2026 or 2027
my main concern is the coach !

I just cant see him as that coach that can take them to a flag and would hate to see this list wasted with terrible coaching
If they fail to be atleast a Prelim finalist then he needs to be tapped on the shoulder and more demanding strong coach needs to be appointed

Pass mark should be top 4 and a finals win. I don't see him getting sacked if we finish top 6, and we win the first week but I don't think we would have taken enough of a step forward if that was the case.

Young being fit all year, will make a massive difference. Hopefully McVee can add some run and carry from the back line and take some of the load off Clark.

Both Clark and Serong were tagged very effectively last year, but if Young and McVee are having an impact they will be less likely to get tagged, and if they are, it won't have the same impact.
