Fremantle Dockers best 22 for 2025: Predicted team for next AFL season

Fremantle dropped to 10th place on the AFL ladder after losing their past four games, even though they were in the top four following Round 20.

Their season ended after they lost to Geelong, GWS, and Port Adelaide after suffering a devastating one-point loss to Essendon.

The Dockers seem to have a strong team that should reach the 2025 finals now that they have matchwinner Shai Bolton in their forward line.

Next season, will they meet expectations? The top team from Fremantle is examined by The Sporting News. The 2025 AFL season’s top 22 Fremantle Dockers FB Chapman, Heath Pearce, Alex Ryan Luke

The Fremantle forward line, which thrived last season with Josh Treacy’s breakthrough season in which he kicked 45 goals in 20 games, gains an additional level of sophistication with the signing of Shai Bolton.

The Dockers appear to have a formidable forward line now that Luke Jackson is giving them a target and Jye Amiss is probably going to contribute with 40 goals or so.

With their starting midfield trio of Caleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw, and Hayden Young looking among the most well-balanced and devastating in the league, players like Nat Fyfe, Jaeger O’Meara, and Will Brodie aren’t getting easy starts in the best 22.

An outburst Although Josh Draper and Oscar McDonald are capable defensive backups, Brennan Cox will return to the defence as a key position.

With players like Quinton Narkle, Bailey Banfield, and Michael Walters on the fringe, positions in the forward line will be fiercely fought.
