Alex Pearce Justin Longmuir Optus Stadium 16-7-06thElimination Final Caleb Serong Josh Treacy (44) [1]

Overall, Fremantle's 2025 season was a successful one with them returning to Finals for the first time since 2022. Fremantle recorded their equal second most wins in a season, with 16, though however only managed them a 6th place at the end of the Home and Away season. 2025 came with the retirements of Fremantle legends Nat Fyfe and Michael Walters, the emergence of a young star in Murphy Reid and as cult hero in Patrick Voss. [2] [3] [4] Caleb Serong won his 3rd Doig Medal in a row and Josh Treacy topped the club goal kicking charts for the second year in a row with 44 goals. [5] [6]
