Fremantle's dominant season has extended beyond just the AFL in 2026.
The Dockers' WAFL-aligned club Peel Thunder has also pushed into premiership favouritism as it - like its AFL pairing - sits two wins clear in first place.
While the success for both sides is a bonus for Fremantle, it does open the door for opposition clubs to spot bargain deals among the Dockers' listed players dominating at WAFL level.
At the weekend, Fremantle had 12-listed players rolling around in the magoos. And of those 12, five could make an impact at AFL level should they be targeted this off-season.
Sam Sturt
He has had a luckless career at the Dockers after being taken in the first round of the 2018 draft.
A mid-sized forward, Sturt has shown promise to being a Bayley Fritsch-style player, but his body has limited him to 43 goals from 31 games.
The 26-year-old would be hoping to have put those tough times behind him as he played a full game of football for Peel at the weekend, kicking a goal to the raptures of his teammates.
Given the Dockers' choc-a-block forward line, Sturt should look for opportunities of a fresh start elsewhere.
His best season came in 2024 when he kicked 21 goals from 13 games.
Sturt's contract runs out at the end of the year, and it wouldn't cost clubs much to get the Victorian native.
