Will Hussey, the 19-year-old son of *********** Test great Michael, has been named in East Fremantle’s colts leadership group. And he has been elevated to the role without even playing a game for the club. Hussey ruptured his ACL at the start of last season and his only appearance for the Sharks was in a WAFL colts pre-season game. And he is in there alongside another son-of-a-gun, Oli McManus, the son of former Fremantle and Sharks great Shaun. In a video posted to the club’s social media, Hussey said his main goal was to get back on the park. “My main goal would be playing a game, because I did my ACL at the start of last year, so not ideal,” he said. “More team success, I’m just really excited to see how we can go as a team, so big goal is to get into the finals and I think that would be real cool if we can.

McManus has trained with Fremantle’s Next Generation Academy thanks to ties with his father, who captained the club during his 228-game career. The 18-year-old has played six games for the Sharks’ colts team.
