Toast Nat Fyfe retires

[Giant YoYo]

One of the reasons I like Freo.

Go well, mate.

What a career, may have not had the longevity and fulfilment of many other greats, but his best football was arguably as good as we've seen. If footy gods do exist he will stay fit for the remaining games and (hopefully) finish off with a premiership medal around his neck (we can only hope).

 

[Lunchtime]

Outstanding career. Two Brownlow medals proves that. Quality player. Arguably the Dockers best player in their history.

Does he play in a flag to finish it all off?..

If the Dockers make it surely he has to get a run on gf day.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Unbelievable player, could win a game off his own foot. His long, protracted decline was unfortunate, but he can be proud of his 2 Brownlow medals. When Neale was at the Dockers they had 4 future Browlows between them!

 

[Sully90]

Hall of Fame for this alone.

Fremantle v Geelong grand final and Freo win by 100 points. That would be an epic finish for Fyfe.

That would be awesome, but it's you guys we owe a Grand Final defeat

Absolute superstar.

Just a pity he lost a lot of his prime with injuries

Thanks Sam Mitchell......

If you need a little reminder of how good he was

Damn, even I'd forgotten how good his high marking was when he was younger.

That move at 7.10 where he burst through three Cats players is one of my favourite ever goals from a Freo player.

We know who'll be replacing Pav at Fox now.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Legend of the league. 2015 and 2019 Fyfe were the peak years in terms of awards. Exceptional player. Body has been breaking down in recent years so it's probably time.

 

[Cyclops]

Great player, and the sort of player that gives the Brownlow credibility-fairest and best.

And all these achievements and accolades with an injury prone body.

Hope they can get him in a final for a last swing at it.

 

[Woolly Mammoth]

End of an era. Time waits for no man.

 

[Some Idiot]

The best overhead mark for a midfielder ever seen and was an absolute beast in the contest as well. It's a real shame he didn't play enough footy in recent years.

 

[Lach72]

At his peak he was the best air-ground combo player I’ve ever seen. Was top 15 for contested marks in 2015 and 2017, surrounded by key position players.

Pinched this off Twitter

In 2015, he was a clearance beast AND a contested mark king. A complete statistical outlier, it had its own name

The cost of injury…retires a year later than Martin. Plays 57 games less…yes, some more finals for dusty maybe.

But geez the crippling injuries to the three players we took in 2009, Morabito, Fyfe and Barlow, probably cost us a couple of flags tbh

 

[voorhees]

2 Brownlow medal says enough about fyfe...man gaves his all to the club.
well done on a fantastic career.

 

[The King!]

Amazing player

Huge what if from a tigers fan
Fyfe was a mad tigers fan absolutely loved richo and the tiges
At the combine our recruiting team didn’t even have a casual chat
Now given we got dusty at #3 and the dockers were committed to morabito he was still there at our next pick and we took Griffith instead ….you can only dream of getting dusty and Fyfe in the same draft….how many additional flags
Anyhow has been an absolute champion of the game one of the best to lace them up

 

[Rotayjay]

Fremantle's finest-ever player.

Look, he is a legend, but let's not get carried away here. A couple of flags? You haven't even won one!
