Nathan O'Driscoll seeks trade after Fremantle offer rejection
Fremantle wingman O'Driscoll rejected a three-year contract and will explore trade options with Western Bulldogs interested.
Nathan O'Driscoll has told Fremantle he wants to test his market value during the 2026 AFL Trade Period after declining the club's three-year contract offer. The 24-year-old wingman is the only Dockers player to request a move in this week's exit meetings.
Western Bulldogs have shown interest in the 55-game midfielder. Fremantle has withdrawn its contract offer as O'Driscoll works toward a fresh start.
"We put some things on the table and he will look to explore his options through the trade period," club executive general manager Joe Brierty said. Meanwhile, Sean Darcy remains firmly at the club.
The contracted ruckman wants to stay and fight his way back into the best 23 after playing only seven games this season.
