Fremantle
Draft Picks: 19, 40, 58, 61, 68
Notable Club-Tied Prospects: Finlay Yeo (NGA), Lucas Robinson (NGA)
Latest Whispers: Fremantle's pick late on night one is one of the most fascinating of the first round. West Australian mature-aged defender Jake Soutar was linked early but is now seen as less likely - though remains a genuine chance - while hard-running Jackson Phillips, winger Toby Krasna, pacy half-back Jake Eime and even Hawthorn-tied small forward Keenan Boi are other names in the mix. It will also be fascinating to see where a bid comes for Finlay Yeo with many clubs seeing him as a genuine second round prospect despite the high-flying small forward being largely unheralded for much of the year. If he does fetch a bid before Pick 36, Fremantle would face a dilemma about whether to match a bid given the impact it would have on the rest of their draft hand. The Dockers have also done work on local key position talent Harvey Spawton-Guy who can provide reinforcement at either end, but he is likely to be off the board by their second selection. There is a belief the Dockers could target a tall defender on night two and they have done work on athletic Sydney Academy prospect Mason McGroder and are every chance of placing a bid.
