The new jumper numbers for four Fremantle Dockers, including new recruits Blake Acres and James Aish, have been revealed. 

Defender Luke Ryan has switched to number 13 from number 38, and forward Jesse Hogan has switched to number one from number 11.

Acres will wear the number nine, a slight change from the number eight he wore at St Kilda. 

Aish will take on the number 11 after wearing number 14 at Collingwood and number four at the Brisbane Lions.

Hogan wore number one at Melbourne for 71 games between 2015 and 2018, while Luke Ryan said the number 13 was an important number in his family.

“It’s my family number, it’s my mum’s favourite number so I thought I would take it,” Ryan said.
