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.

Fremantle 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.

3. Mitchell Georgiades

Another Western Australian for the Dockers to target is Georgiades. A forward that could play well alongside Jye Amiss and Luke Jackson to create a more versatile forward line for Fremantle. With his contract running out at the end of this season and his lingering knee injury, Fremantle could have the firepower to steal Georgiades from Port Adelaide.

At 192cm and 92kg, Georgiades could be the big body to crash the contest and create opportunities for players like Michael Walters and Lachie Schultz. In his four years at Port Adelaide, Georgiades has kicked 65 goals with good accuracy.

He has also been a strong marker of the footy, amassing 4.4 marks per game. He becomes especially dangerous inside 50 with his ability to lose his defender.
