Freo Makes Shock Admission About Landing Sydney Star Chad Warner Amid Contract Drama

Fremantle chief executive Simon Garlick has made some eyebrow-raising comments about the club's chances of luring Sydney superstar Chad Warner, despite the midfielder being contracted to the Swans.

Warner, who has been one of the standout players for Sydney in recent seasons, has been the subject of speculation about his future at the club. When quizzed about the possibility of Fremantle making a move for the talented midfielder, Garlick seemed to downplay the chances of securing his services.

However, in a surprising twist, Garlick did reveal that the Dockers would be keeping a watchful eye on the situation, leaving the door slightly ajar for a potential move in the future. "I think Chad Warner is a contracted player at the Sydney Swans, and I expect him to see out his contract there," Garlick said.

"But, as always, we will certainly monitor the situation. We are a club that is always looking to improve our list, and if opportunities arise, we will certainly explore them. As we all know, funnier things have happened, and you can never predict what might happen in the world of AFL," he added.

Garlick's comments are sure to spark some intrigue among Fremantle fans, who have been clamoring for the club to make some big moves in the off-season. While it's unlikely that the Dockers will be able to pry Warner away from Sydney in the short term, it's clear that the club is always on the lookout for ways to strengthen its lineup.

For now, it seems that Fremantle will have to be content with keeping a watching brief on the situation, rather than actively pursuing Warner. However, if the past has taught us anything, it's that things can change quickly in the world of AFL.
