Fremantle midfielder Neil Erasmus selling several worn guernseys including Peel Thunder jumper
Fremantle midfielder Neil Erasmus is selling several of his player-worn guernseys, including the Peel Thunder one he wore in his Simpson Medal-winning performance last year as his future remains unclear.
Erasmus, 21, is selling several signed guernseys through a third party on a Facebook group with some going for as much as $500 as well as several pair of boots.
It comes after Channel 7's Ryan Daniels reported that Erasmus is being targeted by cross-town rivals West Coast, with his contract at the Dockers to expire at the end of the season.
Amongst the collection is the No.19 guernsey Erasmus wore in the Thunder's 2024 grand final victory over East Perth at Optus Stadium last year.
The midfielder was named best-on-ground in the game and awarded the Simpson Medal after collecting 26 disposals, laying 11 tackles and kicking two second quarter goals in the 33-point win against the Royals.
'It's been a long year, but it's been such a good one. It probably hasn't gone the way I wanted it, but what a way to finish,' Erasmus said after winning the medal.
'It's sticking to the process and controlling what I can control, and I'm proud of the way I did that this year.'
Erasmus is 'taking offers' for the piece of Peel memorabilia that has clearly not been washed by the photos posted.
The Subiaco product has played the past six games for the Dockers, including an impressive outing in the win over Essendon on Thursday night when he recorded a career-high seven clearances as well as 21 touches.
It is believed Erasmus wants to re-sign at the Dockers — who are expected to table a multi-year deal — despite struggling to cement a regular spot in their best 23 after being drafted with pick No.10 in 2021, playing only 31 games.
Erasmus is reported to be at the top of the Eagles' wish list with Sydney's Angus Sheldrick and out-of-favour North Melbourne midfielder Will Phillips also on their radar.
Victorian clubs are also believed to be interested in the strong midfielder if he does decide to part ways with the Dockers for more opportunities.

Suns superstar hasn't re-signed just yet, Hardwick says
Matt Rowell has yet to officially re-sign with Gold Coast despite strong speculation the in-demand midfielder will stay, coach Damien Hardwick says. Off-contract Rowell is expected to turn his back on offers from Victorian clubs to re-commit to the Suns following a report that emerged during their seven-point loss to GWS on Sunday. The star midfielder had been linked with a possible interstate move after he met with Collingwood, Essendon, Geelong and the Western Bulldogs in the off-season. But Rowell is now tipped to re-commit to the Suns on a two-year contract that will take him to free agency, reported. Hardwick, however, brushed aside the mid-game report when asked about the matter post-match. "As far as I'm concerned, there's no news at the moment," Hardwick said. "All we can continue to do is play our part and provide a good environment for Matt that allows him to play his very best footy "Once we find out or get some information, we'll be the first to pass it on, trust me. We love good players and we love Matt. "Players, fans, coaches alike just think he's a superstar, so we'll keep working our way through that." Rowell was drafted to the Suns in 2019 with the prized first overall pick and is averaging 25.2 disposals, 8.2 tackles and 7.7 clearances this season. The 21-year-old's quality shone again against the Giants, the 23-year-old finishing with 34 disposals, 12 clearances, eight tackles and 19 contested possessions. All cylinders of the Gold Coast engine were firing, with captain Noah Anderson (42 disposals, seven clearances) and Touk Miller (37, seven, two goals) just as red-hot. But the Suns couldn't capitalise on their early dominance and fumbled a game-high 29-point lead at Engie Stadium. Rowell's midfield rival Tom Greene monstered the midfield battle with 31 disposals, 16 clearances, nine tackles and 22 contested possessions. "You've got to heed those lessons and move forward," Hardwick said. "High contest, high pressure is how we want it because that's what finals are like and it was probably a finals-type game. "When they upped the ante, we were probably found a little bit wanting. "I just didn't think we played our moments anywhere near well enough." Hardwick was left lamenting a costly 50-metre penalty that gifted GWS star Jesse Hogan his first of two goals. Suns defender Mac Andrew had mistaken a "play on" call from a teammate and moved off his mark. "He heard a play on call," Hardwick said. "I'm not quite sure, probably clarification might be needed at some stage. "It's costly play. Those moments that we speak about, that effectively just handed them a goal."
