The 2010 Fremantle Football Club season was the club's 16th season of competition in the Australian Football League (AFL). The club reached the finals for the third time and won its first ever Elimination Final, beating Hawthorn at Subiaco Oval before losing to Geelong at the MCG to end the season.

Personnel changes

Fremantle was not a major participant in the trade period, with no recruits and only fringe players Brett Peake and Marcus Drum traded for late third round selections. In the draft, however, Fremantle would recruit two significant members of its future midfield in Nathan Fyfe and Michael Barlow, as well as the injury prone Anthony Morabito. Adam McPhee returned to the club via the pre-season draft after spending the seven previous seasons with Essendon.

Dean Solomon retired during the pre-season due to a recurrence of a past knee injury.[2] Scott Thornton announced his retirement mid year after breaking his leg whilst playing for South Fremantle.[3] Paul Hasleby declared prior to the final home and away game that he would retire at the end of the season.[4]

Off-field, Rick Hart stepped down as president at the end of the 2009 season, with Steve Harris his successor. Ben Allen was reappointed as the member's elected representative, and inaugural Docker Stephen O'Reilly and Jenn Morris, a dual Olympic gold medalist with the Hockeyroos, appointed to the board.

Aaron Sandilands was named as the lead ruckman in the 2010 All-Australian team, his third selection. Matthew Pavlich was considered unlucky to have not been selected for his seventh All-Australia team.[11] Michael Barlow was awarded the Ross Glendinning Medal in Round 6, with Sandilands winning it in Round 18. Barlow, despite only playing 13 games for the season due to suffering a broken leg in Round 14, was also awarded the Best First Year Player Award by the AFL Players Association awards.[12]

Nathan Fyfe and Anthony Morabito both received nominations in the 2010 AFL Rising Star award, Fyfe in Fremantle's round 9 win over Sydney[13] and Morabito in the final round against Carlton.[14]

Garrick Ibbotson and Paul Duffield were chosen to represent Australia in the 2010 International Rules series in Ireland.[15]
