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.

The fleet-footed Docker has been learning his craft as a flying half-back flanker, but like everyone on this list, has failed to make a serious move into the senior side in 2026.

Simpson has only managed to play five senior games in his first three seasons and could be motivated to seek a trade this off-season for more opportunities.

He is contracted until the end of 2027; however, given he is stuck behind the likes of Jordan Clark and Judd McVee, the 21-year-old will be hoping to make the most of his career sooner rather than later.

Has spent time in defence and attack, and his speed adds a dynamism to his game that could attract recruiters.

Simpson is averaging 19.2 disposals, 3.8 marks, 3.1 tackles and 2.6 inside 50s per match for Peel Thunder.
