After a disappointing 2023 season that followed a finals-finishing campaign, Fremantle will have their sights set on a September return next year.
The club endured an unwanted player movement period, losing all of Liam Henry, Lachie Schultz and Joel Hamling despite the club's desire to retain all three players.
Without a first-round selection at the National Draft as well, the Dockers couldn't add in leading draft talent despite a 14th-placed finish.
Senior coach Justin Longmuir enters the 2024 season off-contract and needs to prove this year was an outlier in his journey with the Western Australian club.
With no headling recruits making their way to Cockburn, it's likely the Dockers will start the new season with a side made up of 2023 listed players and without some key roles players.
So, what does Longmuir's best side for next season look like? We've had a go at naming Fremantle's best 23-man team for 2024...
