The step to success

Just over one year ago, an article on fremantlefc.com.au called 'Taking the next step' looked at four boxes the club would need to tick if it wanted to improve on its 2012 result.

Four key elements were identified that could help the club 'take the next step' in 2013.

The first was breakthrough seasons among the playing list. In just their second years in the system, two young South Australians stepped up to become integral members of the team.

The second element called for the alignment of Freos stars. In 2012, classy midfielders David Mundy and Nat Fyfe were hindered by injury. While the pair were both big contributors to the clubs finals campaign, they struggled to stay on the park for the entire season. The brilliant midfielders enjoyed a free run in 2013, culminating in the pair being arguably the clubs best players on Grand Final day.

The third point was staying fit and available, which did not go entirely to plan.

The final element was making the top four, which the club achieved in 2013.

So having taken another big step forward in 2013, what can help Fremantle go one further in 2014?

The emergence of talent and the addition of experience will give the club a very deep list.

As always, staying fit and available will be paramount to Fremantles chances in 2014, but should the injury questions arise again, the depth among the squad will hold the club in good stead.

The club has been to the AFLs decider now and come mighty close, save for execution, to achieving greatness. There should be a burning desire within every player, coach and supporter to return for another crack, minus the surreal feeling that many fans had for their sides date with destiny.
