Great WA prospect who will end up becoming a household name at freo. Interested to see what people think of him?

When do people think he will play?
What position/role will he play for Freo?
What number will he wear?
plus any other info

When do people think he will play? going by what we saw last year, if he is in form in the NAB cup, no reason why he wont play round 1, although i think round 5 is more realistic
What position/role will he play for Freo? Half forward flank/wing
What number will he wear? 9
plus any other info

had the best hands of any player in this years draft, played in the colts grand final in the wafl and kicke 6 while getting a mountain of the ball. been likened to brett burton with his penchant for taking hangers, his verticle leap is staggering for a guy his size. while many were surprised by fyfe being taken at pick 20 when aaron black was available, rumour has it that freo had their sights on fyfe the whole time and have rated him very highly for a while. Fyfe is currectly listed at 187.4 cm although he says he is 189, if he grows to 192 and can put on some weight he may turn into a key position forward.

thats all i got
 
Allthough i dont know the theory/maths behind it myself, im pretty sure that the talk of him having pretty big hands for his size, means hes going to do a bit more growing.

Didnt we have a player a few years back, Peake? maybe, that grew a few cm's at 21, when they started doing the pre season/Musashi suppliments?
Just looking at the photo of Fyfe yesterday, he doesnt look too long out of puberty either, so id definately think theres more growth to come.

No, I just went to all the effort of making those player threads and then this bloke want's all this info here.

Just makes sense to me to have it all in the one place. Makes it easier to find info for not only people who come on here to find out about our players but also us as supporters.

McPharlin had a late growth spurt. Caused him a few issues for a while.
 
How good was his interview. He sounds pretty switched on with a good sense of humour.

I rate him already. 189.5 and growing into his hands....apparently?
 
If he's still got a bit of growing (and he probably does) then that's well and good, but it also means that he's even less likely to get serious game time this year - baring ridiculous injury list ala last season, I would see him only getting a game here and there and probably not until well into the season.

Agree, his interview was terrific. Seems to hold himself so well and with some maturity. Was unsure about him when picked, but have a great feeling about him after some reflection.
 
Fyfe is a seriously smart footballer, with Mayne and Ballantyne it is going to be an exciting time ...just hope Walters can get into the act.

I was impressed with how well spoken he was also. Got a bit flustered over the hand bit but otherwise I thought gee Suban has some competition for future captain....;) Early days...

hopefully we have solved part of our key position deficiencies in 1 draft.by picking,morabito,fyfe and houghton.

Does anyone think Fyfe could snare a game or two in the next season?

also did like his maturity during his speech as well
