Dominic Bedendo

Nathan O'Driscoll wanted to weigh his options, and Fremantle "had to continue to move on and make other decisions on other players," Joe Brierty said of the Richmond trade. The extra pick let them move fast on ex-Bulldog Dominic Bedendo, "probably ready-made" for AFL level.

Dominic Bedendo is back on an AFL list, joining Fremantle as a free-agent wingman after two VFL seasons at Port Melbourne. After an injury-hit four years at the Western Bulldogs, he said two years of continuity has his body "feeling really good".
