How is Fyfe's elbow guard legal?

It's one of these but it looks like he's added a steel plate into the forearm for extra impact.

I remember Ross Lyon was still wearing his arm guard when he didn’t need it and cleaning up a couple of blokes in the early 90’s playing for Fitzroy

I'd rather get hit with the guard than without tbh

No other player in the game currently comes close to Fyfes record:
4 X times he's been suspended for incidents
5 X times he's been fined for incidents
At least another 5 times he's been cited for incidents but cleared

In total it's a least 14 times he's drawn the attention of the MRP for one reason or another.

When Fyfe is having a sub 20 possession game where he is frustrated (and we are losing) you can basically set your watch to him whacking someone in the second half. Why i'm amazed people put money on him for the brownlow.

So I've heard he wears it just for "the look". I can't believe he's worried about his looks while on the footy field, right?

The answer to who comes close might be Ben Cunnington, he just received his 5th fine for the season
wtf

for basically the same/very similar incidents every time. not the smartest tool in the shed

Nah, he added titanium - it’s harder and lighter, win-win
