**INSANE Revelation: Finally, Murphy Reid Makes Feelings Known About Dockers Board as Fremantle Dockers Trade 3x All-Star in Shocking Move**
In a revelation that has sent tremors through the AFL world, Fremantle Dockers rising star **Murphy Reid** has broken his silence—blasting the club’s board and leadership over the stunning trade of a beloved **3x All-Star veteran**, whose influence both on and off the field had become a cornerstone of the Dockers’ identity.
In a candid and emotionally-charged interview with *Perth Sports Weekly*, Reid did not mince words, revealing deep frustrations with how the board handled recent internal decisions—especially the quiet, backdoor exit of the 3x All-Star, whose departure caught players, fans, and even coaching staff off guard.
> “This isn’t how you treat a club legend,” Reid said. “We talk a lot about culture and loyalty, but when it came time to show it, the board fell silent. We found out on social media. That’s not just poor communication—it’s straight-up disrespect.”
The 22-year-old midfielder, known for his fierce competitiveness and emerging leadership, is often reserved in the media. But this time, the usually calm Reid seemed visibly agitated, speaking with raw emotion about the “toxic silence” that has grown between the playing group and the top brass at Fremantle.
According to multiple sources, the board’s decision to trade the veteran star—reportedly to a Victorian rival in a late-night deal—was kept under tight wraps, blindsiding the locker room. The move is believed to have been driven by salary cap pressure and long-term list restructuring, but Reid insists it came at the cost of morale and unity.
> “He was more than just a great player,” Reid said. “He was our emotional anchor. The guy who stayed after training to work with younger players. The one who kept the vibe alive in the darkest days. You don’t just trade that away like it’s a spreadsheet number.”
The backlash from fans has been just as fierce, with social media erupting in anger and confusion over the trade. Thousands have flooded the Dockers’ official channels demanding answers, while murals and tribute banners for the departed star have already appeared outside Optus Stadium.
Reid’s comments add fuel to growing speculation that tensions have been brewing behind closed doors. Some insiders have described a growing rift between the board’s corporate direction and the club’s on-field leadership—a divide that this latest trade has seemingly exposed.
When asked if his own future at Fremantle was now in doubt, Reid gave a cryptic but telling response:
> “I love this club. I love the fans. But right now, I don’t recognize the people making the decisions. That’s a hard place to be.”
With the 2025 AFL season looming, the Dockers now find themselves facing a storm of backlash, fractured trust within the club, and the risk of further player unrest. Reid’s brutal honesty may be the first public crack—but it likely won’t be the last.
As one fan boldly posted outside the club’s facility this morning:
**“You traded a legend. Don’t be surprised when the future walks too.”**
