The Dockers' interest in Clark has been reported on in recent weeks, while Narkle's future is set to remain uncertain until the end of the home-and-away campaign.

According to SEN's Sam Edmund, Petrevski-Seton is also weighing up his options for the future.

Speaking on AFL Tonight, Morris revealed the Dockers are sure to have the three aforementioned players in their planning ahead of a busy upcoming off-season.

“They’re going to be busy. They’ve got money to spend and balls in the air,” Morris said.

“Keep an eye on three names specifically and who the Fremantle Dockers are going to be targeting. They’re looking for WA talent.

Sam Petrevski-Seton, out of favour at Carlton and out of contract.

Jordan Clark, out of favour at Geelong a little bit, not out of contract but potentially gettable according to clubs.

“The other one is Quinton Narkle, who is out of favour at Geelong – he’s been dropped twice in the last month – and he is out of contract.

“Keep an eye on them because the Dockers will be asking the question.”

The Dockers will be looking to secure the services of gun midfielder Adam Cerra, who is tipped to head the other way in a potential return to Victoria.

The 21-year-old is understood to have gained interest from the Tigers, Bombers and Blues, while other Victorian sides are sure to show some levels of interest throughout the season.

The Dockers have enjoyed a pair of retention signings this week, with Victorian duo Sean Darcy and Sam Switkowski inking new deals with the club.
