In a rapid transition of their list, Fremantle has gone from having the third oldest list to the 10th in the space of a year. 

This has been done while still retaining the club’s most experienced players in Aaron Sandilands, Michael Johnson and David Mundy, who will all play a crucial role in passing on their experience to Freo’s emerging players. 

Turning 35 later this month, Aaron Sandilands will break the record as Freo’s oldest representative with any game played in 2018, passing Matthew Pavlich’s mark of 34 years and 241 days.

At the other end of the age spectrum, Fremantle has seen a significant injection of youth – so much so that the club could now field a side consisting of players aged 22 and under.

With 25 players on the list within that age range, there is also enough ‘depth’ at that age to name three players as an emergency.

Below is one example of how this team could shape up and there’s a strong chance many of these names will be playing roles similar to the below during the coming decade.
