They might’ve offloaded pick No.6 during the trade period, but Fremantle have all the fodder to secure themselves four formidable youngsters at the AFL National Draft next Thursday and Friday.

Of course, the Dockers’ current hand - selections 14, 31, 43 and 65 - will look completely different come draft’s end, with several highly-rated academy prospects and the introduction of live pick trading set to shuffle the decks.

But as it stands, Steve Rosich and his team of recruiters have reason to be optimistic. History says so.
