Fremantle's Rising Stars Shine in 2025 All-Australian Squad
The AFL landscape is constantly shifting, and the 2025 All-Australian squad announcement is always a hotly anticipated event. This year sees a strong Fremantle Dockers presence, with four players earning a spot in the extended 44-player list. Leading the charge are dynamic defender Jordan Clark and powerhouse ruckman Luke Jackson, both vying for their first-ever All-Australian selection. Their inclusion highlights the Dockers' impressive season and the emergence of a new generation of talent.
Clark's Defensive Prowess
Jordan Clark has been a revelation in defence for Fremantle. His intercept marking, speed, and ability to read the play have consistently frustrated opposition forwards. He's become a key component of the Dockers' backline, providing crucial rebounds and launching counter-attacks. Scouts have been consistently impressed with his growth throughout the season, and a spot in the final 22 would be a just reward for his efforts. Many analysts believe he's a genuine contender to be considered among the league's best defenders.
Jackson's Ruck Dominance
Luke Jackson’s impact in the ruck has been undeniable. His tap work is exceptional, providing his midfielders with a crucial advantage. Beyond his primary role, Jackson's mobility and athleticism allow him to impact the game further afield, pushing forward and contributing as an extra tall. His contested marking and ability to win crucial one-on-one contests have made him a nightmare for opposing ruckmen. His selection in the 44-player squad underscores his importance to the Fremantle team and his rising status in the AFL.
Other Dockers in the Mix
Joining Clark and Jackson in the extended squad are two other Fremantle players, whose names are currently being kept under wraps to build anticipation. Their contributions throughout the season have been significant, and they’ll be looking to impress the selectors in the final stages of the season to secure their place in the final 22.
A Competitive Selection Process
The 44-player squad is a testament to the high level of competition across the AFL. With several players vying for limited spots, the final selection process will be incredibly tough. Form over the remaining rounds of the season will be critical, and players will need to perform at their peak to earn a coveted place in the All-Australian team. The selectors will be looking for consistency, impact, and overall contribution to their respective teams.
