Fremantle Dockers High Performance Manager Phil Merriman will depart the Club to pursue a new professional opportunity.<\/p>\n
Merriman joined Fremantle in 2020 as the Club entered a new phase of its journey. With a younger playing list and a program in transition, he played an important role in laying the foundations for the Club\u2019s current high performance environment.<\/p>\n
His background in AFL, elite hockey, and Exercise Sports Science has helped shape a program driven by care and professionalism. Over five seasons, his leadership has been valued by players, coaches, and staff.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve appreciated the opportunity to work with Fremantle and I\u2019m proud of the progress we\u2019ve made,\u201d Merriman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the achievements of recent years, I feel it\u2019s the right time to take on a new challenge and continue my growth. I leave with great respect for the Club and its people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish the Club all the best as it enters its next phase and look forward to seeing what\u2019s ahead for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fremantle EGM Football Joe Brierty thanked Merriman for his contribution and will begin the search for a new High Performance Manager to continue driving Fremantle forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thank Phil for his contribution to Fremantle over the past five seasons,\u201d Brierty said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s never easy to farewell someone that has made a significant contribution to the Club and we wish Phil all the best for the new challenge that awaits.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we continue to evolve our men\u2019s football program, this decision provides us with an opportunity to find new leadership to take our high performance strategy forward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fremantle Dockers High Performance Manager Phil Merriman will depart the Club to pursue a new professional opportunity.
