Fremantle looks primed for a tilt at the premiership given the demographic and depth of its list, with All-Australian quality littered across every line.

The Dockers didn't have the busiest off-season, instead mostly relying on a squad that took them to September while being one of the youngest in the competition in 2025.

Another pre-season under the belt of their emerging crop, as well as heightened competition at selection, should see Justin Longmuir lead one of the best lists in the league this year. 

With that in mind, let's take a look at Fremantle's best 23 for the 2026 season. 

Forwards

Fremantle's forward line continues to grow new strengths, with 2025 seeing the emergence of Patrick Voss as a big-bodied key forward.

The former Bomber kicked 37 goals from 20 games last year to stake his claim as the best support for spearhead Josh Treacy, with Jye Amiss also battling for supremacy.

That trio, in addition to a rotating Luke Jackson, has seen the Dockers' attacking third become an arduous battleground for defences. 

Mason Cox now adds to that pecking order, while second-year tall Charlie Nicholls will hope to place some selection pressure on those ahead of him in the queue. 

At ground level, Bolton, Reid, Frederick, Sam Switkowski and Isaiah Dudley are there to pounce, only compounding the difficult task on hand for the opposition.

The Dockers also handed Geelong VFL gun Tobyn Murray a contract via last year's draft, with the lively half-forward a mature-aged option who could have an impact in 2026.

Fellow draftees Leon Kickett and Adam Sweid both had state league experience last year and could also get a look as crafty front-half options.
