Find out everything you need to know about the AFLW Fremantle Dockers team from coach, premierships, players, their schedule and more at FOX SPORTS.
Just when things were looking up after an outstanding coming-of-age season for the previously cursed Dockers, their crosstown rivals West Coast Eagles entered the competition. They lost a total of nine players for essentially nothing to the Eagles; however, the added benefit of another Western Australian team means that Fremantle will play four of their first five games in their home state – rolled gold for their finals ambitions in 2020.
Inspirational midfielder Kiara Bowers essentially played her first season last year after back-to-back knee reconstructions cruelled her start to AFLW, however she is flanked by Stephanie Cain, Hayley Miller and a debuting Jasmin Stewart in what is predicted to be a scary midfield core in 2020. Throw in Kara Antonio , Gemma Houghton, Ebony Antonio, and Tayla Bresland – it’s an impressive list that looks bound to make up for some missed opportunities in the finals.
The only sour note for the Dockers ahead of 2020 is the season-ending injury to Irish recruit Aine Tighe which leaves 18-year-old Mim Strom as the only ruck on the club’s list.
