Following successive off-seasons where required players flocked from Fremantle to rivals, the Dockers will be out to lure targeted talent onto their list come the 2024 trade period.

Losing Lachie Schultz, Liam Henry and Joal Hamling 12 months on from trade requests from Blake Acres,ย Rory Lobb,ย Griffin Logue,ย Lloyd Meek andย Darcy Tucker has certainly hurt the club's premiership prospects since their top six finish in 2022.

But being home to half of WA - a state that boasts endless top-line talent - Fremantle should be in a position to lure some home state names back across the Nullarbor.

The Dockers are also in a stronger position this year than off-seasons gone by given their current draft hand of three first-round picks.

In our latest edition of our 2024 trade targets series, we look at the names Fremantle could consider come the trade period, and one left-field avenue for the club's recruitment team to consider.

OTHER TRADE TARGETS:ย ADELAIDE,ย BRISBANE,ย CARLTON, COLLINGWOOD, ESSENDON

4. Riley Garcia

Another Western Australian who is currently off-contract beyond this season and has shown signs of improvement across the course of the year.

Garcia has enjoyed his best season yet at the Western Bulldogs but was recently dropped to the VFL before his club's mid-season bye round.

The midfield-forward role player has had some big quarters in crucial games for the Bulldogs this year, but was dropped to the reserves to work on areas of his game in what was a message from coach Luke Beveridge.

With the Dockers potentially looking at the half-forward or wing market, Garcia - a product out of Caversham - could be one name to consider.
