Fremantle is set to lose a number of players in the trade period, including Blake Acres, Rory Lobb, Lloyd Meek and Griffin Logue, as well as potentially Liam Henry, Darcy Tucker and Joel Hamling.
However, they are planning to be aggressive and target replacements for that group.
Melbourne ruckman Luke Jackson is set to request a trade to the Dockers, while SEN WA’s Kim Hagdorn is reporting two further targets in Collingwood forward Ollie Henry and Gold Coast wingman Jeremy Sharp.
Both are out of contract at their respective clubs, with Sharp an East Fremantle boy.
“Fremantle has got to go and get a gun key forward or a smaller marking forward and keep a Sam Sturt and play him, or bring someone in,” Hagdorn told SEN WA’s Drive.
“Now I do understand that Fremantle are considering Oliver Henry from Collingwood. He kicked four goals against Fremantle in the wet.
“Fremantle are considering and are in some negotiations to try and lure Ollie Henry away from Collingwood.
“He’s 20, he’s only played 25 games, he’s out of contract at the end of this season as I understand it.
“The other one I think Fremantle is looking at is Jeremy Sharp from Gold Coast. He’s 21, played 24 games, he could be a Blake Acres replacement on the outside with a bit of pace.”
Henry played 15 games for the Magpies this season, multiple as a substitute. He was selected with pick 17 in the 2020 National Draft.
Sharp was taken with pick 27 in the 2019 National Draft and played 12 games for the Suns this season.
