Fremantle’s game plan has been tweaked to accommodate their new key forward targets, according to veteran David Mundy.

The Dockers have spent the past week on a camp on the Gold Coast where they have been bedding down the 2019 game plan.

The addition of Jesse Hogan and Rory Lobb has raised expectations Fremantle can play a more attacking style next season and Mundy confirmed there would be differences.

“There’s been a bit of change,” Mundy said.

“We’ve obviously brought some big guys in for up front, which we’ve been crying out for for a couple of years.

“Hopefully we can move the ball in a fashion that will give them the best opportunity to score.

“With the addition of those guys and a few other seasoned bodies and some excitement with the draft, with the youth coming through as well, hopefully we can continue to grow and build and become a really cohesive unit and get back to finals football.”

Mundy, now in his 16th pre-season, said it was the first camp of its kind he had been on in his 294-game career at Fremantle.

He said bonding the youthful playing group had been a key advantage of the whole squad heading east as they bid to return to finals for the first time since 2015.

“Having so many new guys come through the club in the last couple of years, I think it’s been really beneficial to get everyone away and together and to go through a pretty standard week training-wise, but to have every-one immerse themselves in the group and get to know each other a bit better,” Mundy said.

“Hopefully that helps with the connections and the bonds, which will hopefully again translate into on-field performance.”

Mundy said the club’s next generation of stars were now setting the standard at training.

“They are the critical mass within our list, the guys 19-23 years old,” he said.

“We’ve got a lot of them and the fate of the club, almost, is in those guys’ hands.

“We are really relying on them to take that next step and show that improvement in game plan knowledge and execution.

“Their bodies have had another year to develop and get stronger and withstand the rigours of an AFL season. It’s that age group that have really taken over the vibe and the mood of the group.”

The 33-year-old is preparing for the possibility of more midfield time after the departure of Lachie Neale and said he was in good shape ahead of a three-week break for the players.

“I feel really fit and feel like I’ve been able to complete the training to a really high standard,” Mundy said.
