Fresh off putting pen to paper and securing his time in purple for another three years, Fremantle forward Isaiah Dudley said staying with the team that gave him his AFL career was a no-brainer.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Club following the announcement of his contract extension alongside defender Oscar McDonald and young winger Toby Whan, Dudley said he just absolutely loves Freo.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a no-brainer. I absolutely love the Club, love Perth, the city, love the fans\u2026 It was a no-brainer,\u201d Dudley said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy family absolutely told me, \u2018don\u2019t go anywhere,\u2019 because they love it here as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just love playing every game, coming to training. I love being around the boys and love being at the Club.\u201d<\/p>\n
A big part of Dudley\u2019s commitment to Freo comes as the 23-year-old joins a core group of Fremantle players contracted to the Club long term, with Dudley now signed until at least 2029, he joins 15 other teammates who are contracted for the same period or beyond.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of the boys that signed on are pretty good names to sign on, and that made me want to sign on as well,\u201d Dudley said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re heading in the right direction. Everyone\u2019s maturing at the right age, and it\u2019s a lot of fun to be a part of.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the best time to be a part of it because obviously we\u2019ve got a big finals series coming, which I\u2019m pretty excited about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fremantle will host Hawthorn at Optus Stadium in the Club\u2019s Qualifying Final on Thursday 3 September as part of the 2026 Toyota AFL Finals Series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fresh off putting pen to paper and securing his time in purple for another three years, Fremantle forward…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":871009,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-871008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871008\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/871009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
