IT'S OFFICIAL! FYFE RE-SIGNS!

[GilG]

It's safe to say now, we can all breathe deeply and sleep a little more easily. From the team's website: http://www.fremantlefc.com.au/news/2014-06-26/fyfe-signs-new-deal-with-freo

Now, come on Freo, let's lock up Mr. Mundy!

 

[AstonSouffle]

Playing Devil's Advocate a tad, but three years isn't exactly long for Fyfe's age considering.

Also Mundy's words seem like he'll go if a bumper offer comes in through free agency.

But regardless, FYFE IS ALL SIGNED UP!!

*triple fist pump*

 

[Simmofreo]

Haha and the news comes to you first from the US

Good work Gil

 

[mustlovepurple]

oh happy,happy days,,,!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kingswood71]

Great news to wake up to !!

 

[footyfix]

Great news! After the Buddy BS I wouldn't put anything past any club. Well done Clam hands! And thanks Gil, made my day.

I think Fyfe negotiated 3 years because he would be a free agent at the end of it.

 

[Taylor]

It's smart. It's like Pendlebury getting that one year deal before his five year deal to push him into free agent territory.

Here are some more details on the deal: https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/afl/a/24321243/fyfe-signs-for-another-three-years/ Presser with Fyfey coming up at 12:45 pm Thursday WA time (9:45 pm Wednesday night for those of us on US Pacific Time).

Great news!

3 years is a bit annoying haha. Would have loved to see a 5/6 year fe. but with Pav, Sandi & McPhalin all retired by then, we will have a lot of spare $$.
Plus Fyfe would be captain by then

I tend to agree however correct me if I am wrong but isn't 3 years the maximum the club has given out in recent times? I can't remember too many 4+ years deals.

Smart by the lad
At twenty five he will be at his absolute peak

 

[leeloo]

Three years is quite normal practice for an AFL player/club. These five year deals that have been going are just bizarre.

 

[pistol17]

The three-year term of the Fyfe deal is significant because it will take him to the point of restricted free agency. If he holds or improves his current level of performance he could be at the top of rival clubs' hit lists when next out of contract.

But it is equally significant for Fremantle, putting them in the box seat to make Fyfe a one-club player. Under restricted free agency rules, the Dockers would only lose Fyfe if they chose not to match a rival club's offer for him when he next comes out of contract.

That explains the 3 years...

 

[Taylor]

As long as we don't have his last year at almost nothing like Melbourne did with Frawley..

 

[electricfeel]

What a wonderful start to the morning!!!!!


Never in doubt!

Thanks, Bob, but as the Rolling Stones once sang, "time (or more appropriately, the time difference) is on my side." When this news broke about an hour-and-change ago, it was still early morning in Melbourne.

 

[Purple_Passion]

Never in doubt in my books, nevertheless awesome news!

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Sweet action.... best news this season.

 

[Moo]

Now get a haircut boy!

 

[Purple_Voice]

Awesome. Waking up to this news has given a new definition to the term "Morning Glory".
