Fremantle dashing rebounder Jordan Clark is the sole change to the Dockers' 2026 leadership group, which will be headed by Alex Pearce.

Pearce will lead for a fourth-straight season after a vote by the coaching staff and the playing group was conducted earlier in the week.

Clark, off the back of a career-best season, which resulted in a maiden All-Australian blazer, was recognised for his efforts on and off the field.

"Jordan is a fierce competitor who cares deeply for his teammates and our entire football club," Fremantle Executive General Manager of Football Joe Brierty said.

"He has been developing his leadership in recent seasons, and he should be very proud of his inclusion in our 2026 leadership group."

Pearce will be supported by co-vice-captains Andrew Brayshaw and Caleb Serong, with one of the pair likely to be the 30-year-old's successor in years to come.

The remainder of the leadership group is unchanged, with Jaeger O'Meara, Sam Switkowski, Hayden Young and Josh Treacy all included once again.

"It is no surprise Alex has once again been backed by his peers and the broader Club to lead this side for a fourth year," Brierty said. 

"Alex's growth as a leader has been outstanding. His values, work ethic, and ability to bring the group together continue to set the standard for our Club.

“He embodies everything our trademark stands for, and the respect he commands from players and coaches alike was clearly reflected in the voting. 

"Alongside Alex, it's clear that Caleb and Andy, continue to develop as leaders and once again have been recognised by their peers for the commitment and professionalism they bring to every aspect of their football and the Club. 

"This leadership group is a great representation of the behaviours and standards that our player group value the most and we know they will continue to drive our trademark consistently across the 2026 season."

Fremantle will once again kick off their new campaign against Geelong at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1.
