A 2017 article about Fyfe not re-signing? why?

The article states how prior to being drafted to Fremantle, he said Freo was his least favourite team and he avoided being noticed by their representatives. He wanted to play for Richmond, who he is a fan of. But they weren't interested in him.

This is fairly well known. He was a Tigers fan.

Fremantle will be 2018’s surprise finalists – no really, I’m serious
By Josh Elliott, 6 Mar 2018

 

[Eski3]

That headline is so ****ing patronising. We were the minor premiers 3 years ago - how is it inconceivable we will make the finals? It's not that hard to finish in the top 44% of teams in the league ffs

 

[Eski3]

I appreciate the fact that it's finally a positive article about Freo but he really shouldn't be a patronising dick about it by saying "Freo will be relevant this year - no really it's not a joke!! They might actually not be embarrassing this year!!!! Read on to hear my bizarre and crazy theory"

I just hate the way the media is incapable of saying something positive about Freo without making it a backhanded compliment

 

[DudleyDocker]

Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.

 

[E Shed]

Considering Rowan Connelly or whatever his name is has us finishing 17th & other journos not much better, someone talking finals is entitled to express a bit of surprise at the idea of us rising up again so quickly.

 

[Sully90]

We've been borderline pathetic the past two years. Bottom 4 predictions and "surprise" top 8 predictions aren't something that we can be indignant at.

How long have you been supporting us for? Aren't you used to it yet? Other than a couple of little, quick blips on the radar, we've been average at best over the course of our existence and won't be truly respected until we earn it.

Between 2012 and 2015 we had turned that corner or so it seemed . Then 2016 and 2017 happened and we are right back where we started

Yep, we really needed to win a flag during that period.

Yep, we really needed to win a flag during that period.

Unfortunately, we up against one of the greatest teams of the modern era.....despite our first quarter in the GF we battled it out and whilst losing, didn't disgrace ourselves like the muppets at WCE.

True but in regards to the discussion above, they've had two very dominant periods in their existence and have 3 flags to show for it. We've had one very short period of domination and nothing to show for it.

Wow thanks for sharing. Very fortunate to have caught it before causing permanent damage. Amazing it did not affect his AFl career.

So, he came to terms with living interstate then.

Mmmmm, must live close to a tissue distributor.

All the best for his recovery.

Plenty of positives there
Not to mention the the return of Alex Pearce

I lost a bit of confidence when he went on to say Elvis was still alive and Nathan Buckley would prove his doubters wrong in 2018.
