For Fremantle, their primary focus will likely revolve around list management and securing key players to support their next phase of rebuilding.

With several mid-tier players on the radar, Fremantle will be navigating a delicate balance between retaining talent and exploring opportunities to bring in fresh faces. Players like Josh Rotham from West Coast are among those garnering attention from other clubs, including Fremantle, as they seek to bolster their defensive lineup​.

On the other side, the West Coast Eagles find themselves in an intriguing position. With Tom Barrass seeking a move to Hawthorn, the Eagles are set to lose a major player in their defensive line, potentially leaving them vulnerable in this area.

West Coast might target Port Adelaide’s Tom Clurey to fill this void. Additionally, the Eagles could make moves in the free agency period to solidify their midfield and defensive stock.

As clubs weigh their options ahead of the free agency window, it’s clear that both the Eagles and Dockers are set for a pivotal off-season. The moves they make, or choose not to make, will impact their 2025 campaigns​.
