Toast Thank you Fyfe

[YelloMit]

As heartbroken and angry as I am, I'm still gonna miss Fyfe.

He deserved better.

Thank you.

 

[eastfreo75]

Thanks for all the years.

You deserved more team success.

 

[Sean_09]

Another of our greats without the flag he deserved. Best player I've had the pleasure of watching play - inspired a generation of footballers.

 

[Deathly]

Can't help but feel bitter about Fyfe.

Two chances to get Fyfe a final win at home against a full crowd - both result in embarassing losses. Will never forgive this weak club for sending him off like that.

Club didn't deserve him in that 17' - 20' period either. He should still be fit and firing like Dangerfield but we traded his body to stay a middling rabble.

Fyfe is the best Fremantle DOCKER and PLAYER ever.

I wonder how many Pavlich nostalgia fans will still have him #1 when he's celebrating a Sydney Swans premiership with his sons in the same year we have Serong retiring in a Bottom 4 team with no flag to date.

Nah, Pavlich is still number 1 despite everything. Fyfe is easily 2nd though.

You should have stopped typing after your first sentence.

 

[JackDoff]

Eagle supporter but I respect Nat Fyfe for his character and achievements in the game. Deserved a better way to finish a sensational career.

 

[The Round House Drunk]

All things must pass, as a wise person once said.

Fyfey will understand that better than most.

Thanks for everything, Nat. Wishing him much happiness and equanimity in the next life transition and beyond

 

[BStaff17]

A true champion Fyfey.

Fremantle are greatful for having you.

Its hurts you didnt get a flag but hopefully you will be there handing the trophy over to whoever does win Freo's first flag.

 

[Righteo]

I think it hurt the team that he didn't retire at the same time as Sonny and the club idealistically played him, despite knowing he couldn't run out a full game, to get that "fairytale" finish. Not saying any of this detracts from his overall legacy and most of the blame lies with the club for gifting him games out of sentimentality.

Anyway, go well legend. Those break out years in 2011-2013 were my favourite in my time following the club.

 

[MF]

Was really hoping you guys would win to keep the fairytale alive. Would have been amazing to him go out with a flag.

Either way, it was a pleasure to watch him play. One of the best I've seen.

 

[largebus]

Maybe it's copium but I felt sadder about seeing him leave the field for the last time than the result. Not many dry eyes in my section.

It's been a privilege mate.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Fyfe has been my favourite player for a long time so watching him wind back the clock one last time to take a big contested mark was special.

Edit: Also, why the **** was Fyfe on the bench for the dying minutes of the 4th?

After winning 7 in a row at home too..and then we lose our last 2

 

[SouthernPie]

Just want to say what a pleasure it has been to watch Nat over his journey. From a small wheat belt town, he developed into a brilliant and brave footballer who was just a joy to watch.
Plus, a no more humble and loyal champion is to be had.
Wishing him a safe and happy retirement, with plenty of enjoyable surfing times ahead.
Thank you Nat Fyfe.

 

[FreoGirl]

Maybe he can do a Tim Watson and come out of retirement when we get in the grand final?

I asked the same question. He was instrumental in pulling things back our way then off he went

 

[Proper Gander]

My all-time favourite player that I have seen live. I’ve gone along to watch so many neutral matches in Melbourne where Freo was playing just to be entertained.

Frighteningly good at his peak. I’ll miss him.
