Fyfe retires

[Kapow!!!]

A really, really sad day. Friday night had better be sold out entirely, better be loud, better be absolutely batshit f***ing mental swinging from the ceiling crazy at Optus.

Outside of the 13 Grand Final this is the biggest game in club history. HAVE to send him off a winner and a finals big game player.

Man I was 21 when this kid debuted, just met a girl - 16 years later married with kids old enough to play club footy. That's how long this bloke has toiled away at our club.

Pav and Walters had to leave with a whimper, Mundy got to a semi at least, McPharlin got a prelim.

Steely resolve now, anything is possible. We've won 11 out of 12, we've beaten team right up there on their home deck.

Let's level up and get the job done now.

First I've heard that Nat is seeing anyone. Anyone know who Bridget is?

 

[Yeti]

My GOAT. I'm sad but happy for him. Has been tough watching him the last few years struggle to bend over.

This is how I choose to remember him:



The fact that AFL360 started their show without Fyfe as the lead topic tells you everything you need to know about the AFL media.

Not anymore than her Instagram profile picture

 

[Freo Shark]

Fyfey one of the best to have played the game. Loved his game!

Rest mate and enjoy ur retirement!

Hope the club rises and wins it for him!

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Writing been on the wall for a while but shit that hit me hard when I read it. What a player he has been for our club. First 2 names on the team sheet for an all time Dockers line up would be him and Pav

 

[Tbonefreo]

Legend. Up there with Chris Judd in terms of making footy fun again.

My favourite Fyfe moment was that left foot banana against the Eagles in the pocket. "NAT THE KNIFE FYFE. WOWEEEE"

A legend of an athlete and a ripper of a bloke as well.

AFL 360 hasn’t even mentioned Nat Fyfe’s retirement 17 minutes into the show. One of the modern greats retires and instead the leading story is a Brisbane player touching a Sydney’s players bum.

 

[ubiquitous226]

Faaaaaaaaaark

 

[Lunchtime]

A sad day for the club and no doubt Freo supporters will be sad too.

What a player. Arguably the best player in Dockers history. Two Brownlow medals....outstanding career.

 

[s_wd6]

Whoever put that together really wanted to crush people’s hearts

 

[E Shed]

We took him with our second rounder, Pick #20, in the 2009 draft.

Without looking, anyone remember who we took at pick 3? I didn't.

Oh I remember. I remember seeing them having coffee together in a cafe (before it became obvious Mora was never coming back) and thinking these 2 will lift the cup together if Mora can get back to his early promise.

Feeling very emotional. End of an era.
Godspeed Fyfey. I’m getting to Optus early Friday to watch you warm up.

I don't consider myself particularly sentimental but Pav's last game was one of my favourites.
Surely Friday night will be packed, season on the line and the last guaranteed chance to see Fyfe at home.

Just quietly you'd be annoyed if you were a Brissy fan haha.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Man I'm just so sad.

Clearly the best player we've had in our history.

I'll be devastated if we don't get up and win on Friday night now.

Yeeeeep now I'm crying at work.

 

[Quay Club]

Yep I know how you feel.

A better highlight reel you will never see, he really did do it all.

 

[rgauci]

Man this stings

 

[academicbowl]

Thanks for everything Fyfe, no one can deny you gave everything to the club. Legend of the game, best player I've ever seen.

 

[muckypup]

He was a very smooth mover when he was just a skinny kid. Became an absolute beast. Legend of the club.

Maybe the interenet was down

 

[mattis117]

Ah shit now I'm crying.

 

[anchor man]

All I can say is, well played Fyfey. Thanks for the thrills and pleasure of watching you wear the Purple with such unswerving pride.
Once a legend, always a legend.
