Alex Pearce may leave Fremantle for Tasmania Devils if he wins Grand Final
A close friend suggests Pearce might join the new Tasmania AFL team if this weekend's flag run succeeds.
Alex Pearce's next move could depend on how Saturday's Grand Final goes. Hugh Dixon, a former Fremantle player now with the VFL's Tasmania Devils, knows Pearce well and thinks the result will influence his decision.
Dixon says Pearce is passionate about Tasmania and loves his home state. If Fremantle wins the flag, Dixon reckons Pearce might feel his job is done at Perth.
That could make a move home easier. If Fremantle falls short this year or next, the decision gets tougher.
Dixon expects both clubs will do everything to keep or attract Pearce. Tasmania is joining the AFL in 2028 and building its squad.
Pearce is one of the targets.
- Fremantle captain
- Pearce's role
- 2028
- Tasmania AFL entry year
- Ex-housemate, close friend
- Dixon's connection
- Tasmania Devils (VFL)
- Current club
Why it mattersFremantle's captain is one of their best leaders. His decision on staying or leaving shapes the club's future direction either way.
