Justin Longmuir and his team at Fremantle have become a dangerous side in recent times, but 2023 is presenting as a year where weaknesses are opening up.
Fremantleย recently lost a few key players, including Lachie Neale back in 2018, Adam Cerra to Carlton, Rory Lobb to the Bulldogs and Jesse Hogan to the Giants, to name a few. Whilst 2023 has yet to hit the same strides compared to last year, what can Fremantle do to boost themselves back into contention?
In the sixth part of our trade target series, we take a look at potential players that could make their way west to become a Docker.

2. Deven Robertson
Young gun Lions midfielder Deven Roberston could also be a key piece to Fremantle's midfield that could complement stars Andrew Brayshaw and Caleb Serong if needed. Whilst it seems Robertson could stay in Brisbane, the Western Australian could consider a return home for greater opportunities.
The 22-year-old can play both as a forward and midfielder despite being an average-sized player at 185cm and 84kg. As he has struggled to break into the Lions' senior group, he has replaced injured senior players with ease. Since being drafted at Pick 22 in 2019, Robertson has averaged 11.7 disposals per game with eight goals to his name.

Not only can he score, but his pressure has also been up with 20 tackles, 86 pressure acts and 13 clearances from his eight games in 2023. Could another ball-winner be the key to Fremantle finding success?
