Players are listed by guernsey number, and 2024 statistics are for AFL regular season and finals series matches during the 2024 AFL season only. Career statistics include a player's complete AFL career, which, as a result, means that a player's debut and part or whole of their career statistics may be for another club. Statistics are correct as of round 24, 2024 and are taken from AFL Tables.

Due to Josh Corbett and Sebit Kuek being placed on the long term injury list,[14] Fremantle had two available positions to be filled either in the pre-season supplemental selection period or the mid-year rookie draft.[15] Patrick Voss, Max Beatty, Sam van Rooyen and Daniel McKenzie all trained with Fremantle during the pre-season in an attempt to be listed.[16] In the end Patrick Voss was selected with Fremantle's final spot on the list.
