Fremantle’s football boss, Joe Brierty, recently hinted at the possibility of landing Liam Baker, following an unexpected draft pick trade last week. While Baker has expressed interest in joining West Coast, the Dockers may have positioned themselves to make a move if the Eagles’ deal doesn’t materialize.
Brierty noted that the recent pick swap has potentially created an opportunity for Fremantle to step in. This has set the stage for an intriguing development as they closely monitor the situation around Baker, who remains a target despite his preference for West Coast.
In addition to Baker, Fremantle is also eyeing Richmond’s vice-captain, Shai Bolton. Brierty confirmed that the club is in a good position, with enough assets to secure trades for both Baker and Bolton if the opportunity arises.
As Fremantle continues to evaluate their options, it seems they are prepared to take full advantage of any openings that may emerge during the trade period. With a solid trade position and two key players potentially within reach, the Dockers could be in for an exciting offseason.
Fremantle fans will be watching closely as the situation unfolds, hopeful that their club can pull off a successful trade for one, or even both, of the Tigers’ stars.
