Imagining a combined Fremantle Dockers and West Coast Eagles team brings together some of Western Australia’s finest talent across both clubs. While both teams have distinct strengths, a combined team would leverage their best assets, blending Fremantle’s emerging young stars with West Coast’s established experience.
### DEFENDERS
Starting in defense, Fremantle’s **Luke Ryan** would be a lock for the backline, providing elite intercept marking and rebounding prowess. He could be partnered with West Coast’s **Tom Barrass**, a key position defender who has consistently shown an ability to shut down the AFL’s top forwards. Add **Alex Witherden** from West Coast, who brings sharp kicking from the half-back line, and Fremantle’s **Hayden Young**, whose precision and run off half-back would add versatility.
### MIDFIELDERS
The midfield would be a formidable unit, with Fremantle’s **Caleb Serong** and **Andrew Brayshaw** leading the way. These young guns have become elite inside midfielders with their ball-winning ability, work rate, and leadership. West Coast’s veteran **Luke Shuey** would inject leadership and big-game experience, especially in clutch moments. **Nic Naitanui**, when fully fit, remains a dominant ruckman, providing the combined midfield with first use at stoppages.
### FORWARDS
In attack, **Josh Kennedy** (recently retired) would be the ideal key forward, but for a current squad, Fremantle’s **Jye Amiss** could step into a key forward role with his growing potential. Flanking him could be **Jack Darling** from the Eagles, whose marking ability and goal sense make him a constant threat. Fremantle’s **Michael Walters** would provide a crafty, experienced small forward option, while **Oscar Allen** from West Coast, a versatile tall forward, adds flexibility across the forward line.
### INTERCHANGE
On the interchange, players like **Elliot Yeo** (West Coast) and **James Aish** (Fremantle) would provide depth in midfield rotations, while **Liam Duggan** offers flexibility in both defense and midfield roles.
This combined team would be a force, blending youth, experience, and versatility.
