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.

A mobile key defender, Draper unexpectedly played a key part of the Dockers' backline across 2024-25.

However, the 22-year-old has failed to crack into the league's best defence in 2026.

Draper has instead plied his trade in the twos, playing 16 games and averaging 13.8 disposals and 4.6 marks per outing.

While he hasn't hit the heights of previous seasons, at just 22, Draper has plenty of football ahead of him and could be a prime key defensive target for clubs such as North Melbourne and Western Bulldogs.

Draper is signed until the end of 2027, so clubs would have to trade for him.
