Fremantle’s first round selection (No. 7 overall) at the 2007 NAB AFL Draft brought East Fremantle product Rhys Palmer to the club. He was a stand out performer at the 2007 NAB AFL Under 18 Carnival which saw him finish runner-up in the Larke Medal, named WA’s and earn selection in the All-Australian Under-18 Team. DOB: 13 February 1989 height: 182cm Weight: 80kg Drafted: East Fremantle You have represented WA in two other sports You were also named in the All-Australian aside from football, can you tell Docker about Under-18 Team, a huge honour considering the that? level of competition you played against?

You learn a great deal from all the boys around you and they have been pretty helpful in teaching the new guys what it is all about. The senior players have really instilled in us just how hard you have to work and how demanding it is being an AFL footballer. What was your first week at the club like? It was pretty full on. We were meeting so many new faces and all the players we had watched on TV since we were kids. We had a lot of meetings with the leadership group and other staff to help us get a more thorough understanding of Fremantle and of what to expect over the pre-season and beyond. You were part of the playing squad that went to South Africa. How was that experience? It was an amazing trip. To see the things that we saw made me realise how lucky I am to live in WA and how easy we have got things compared to some sections of the population in South Africa. It was good to also play my first game over there. What do you do away from football? I have a really close group of mates so we are always hanging out. We go down south sometimes and go skiing and wakeboarding. Who have been your biggest influences in football? My Mum and Dad have always been there for me and have made sure I’ve kept my feet on the ground as I’ve gone through the ranks. They congratulate me when I have had a good game but always make sure I don’t get a big head. Which players have helped you the most? I’ve gotten pretty close to Paul Hasleby and Byron Schammer since I have been here. They have given me good advice on how to go about things and prepare for training and playing.
