Allegedly the Fremantle Council were difficult to deal with but if the opportunity presented itself I wouldn't mind the club looking at the option of being based back in Fremantle.

What?? Just pack up the new 50 million dollars headquarters and move back to Freo oval??

They aren't moving back anytime soon Too. I just think they shouldn't have moved out of Fremantle.

In saying that though St Kilda moved to Seaforth and didn't last long before moving back to Moorabbin.

But did SK have a purpose built stadium for them? What would happen to the Cockburn facility?

After last year's big trade period for Freo.You wouldn't think they would be that active in 2020.But that's not the case with all 2 of there best wanting to leave.
Gws have secured Coniglio.They look to hold there list.Anyone decent at Gold Coast wants out.
The most interesting club in this draft is the Adelaide Crows.They have an aging list.And have lost players like Cameron,Dangerfield.Lever. Mitch McGovern And paid two first rounders for a Spud called Bryce Gibbs.Tex.JJ,Talia,Betts.Jacobs,Greenwood and some rookies are on the trade table.

It would appear that the Crows have more problems than all the other clubs save Gold Coast. Can’t see any one worth a cracker on your list gtr.

Hard to believe in 2019,,58 that Adelaide went into the 2017 Grand Final as red hot favorites...They look bottom 4 in 2020.
Some of those players like Betts.Tex.JJ are on huge contracts till the end of 2021.Without picking up the tab for a future AFL trade with another club.And Gibbs is allegedly over $850K a season.

What do you mean by a purpose built stadium 58?
Not only is the Cockburn facility the Dockers headquarters it's also a community facility and would continue to be used by the public as it is now if Fremantle did decide to move back.
