THERE'S something special about getting a look at your club's new recruits in the guernsey for the first time, and Fremantle fans are spoilt for choice this summer.
AFL Photos' Michael Willson was on hand for the club's official 2017 photo shoot on Tuesday, when experienced faces Cam McCarthy, Bradley Hill, Shane Kersten and Joel Hamling were among those to don the purple for their official headshots and the team photo.

The recruits and draftees weren't the only ones sporting new looks, though.
A clean-cut Lachie Weller has opted for the chop during the off-season, while hirsute No.8 draft selection Griffin Logue will fit right in with a bushy Connor Blakley.
And then there's star midfielder Nat Fyfe, whose magnificent man-bun was in fine form for our photographer's lens.

Former Bulldog Joel Hamling at ease in his new surrounds.
Ex-Cat Shane Kersten has close mate Hamling for company at Freo.
After a long wait, Cam McCarthy is finally a Docker.
Key defender Griffin Logue remains in his home state, having been drafted by Freo.
Lachie Weller's long locks are a thing of the past heading into 2017.
Meanwhile, Connor Blakely has given razors a wide berth.
And Nat Fyfe looks supremely fit as he bids to put his leg trouble behind him.
The entire squad, minus Harley Bennell (in Germany for medical treatment) and Shane Yarran (personal leave) gathered for the official team photo.
Fremantle's social media team were on hand to capture the mood as players made sure their look was spot on for posterity's sake.
