The Dockers were one of the biggest winners of the 2024 trade period, landing former Tigers superstar Shai Bolton, which has propelled their charge toward a maiden premiership in 2025.

As the season winds down, it has become apparent there are no glaring holes in Fremantle's playing list, making their potential off-season one of intrigue.

So, where can they make upgrades, and which out-of-contract players could the Purple Haze realistically add as they enter their latest premiership window?

We take a look at five trade and free agency targets for Fremantle to consider this year.

The younger brother of Dockers superstar Caleb Serong, Jai Serong presents as a cheap option for the Dockers to bolster their defensive depth.

Serong has lacked opportunity at Hawthorn, featuring in just 10 games since being drafted in 2021, and has played exclusively in the VFL in 2025. However, in five appearances in 2024, he demonstrated his capabilities in the back 50, laying 2.6 tackles per game and competing well aerially, averaging a handful of marks and spoils per game.

He was also Box Hill's best and fairest winner in 2024, highlighting the level of untapped potential he possesses. With brother Caleb already in the chevron guernsey, it wouldn't be hard to lure over the 21-year-old and, in turn, boost the back six stocks at Freo.
