Doubt that s20 is the only person to rate Fyfe highly.

He is an out and out gun - Strange thing is that he was considered more of a flanker who could do stints in the midfield - he is a permanent midfielder in his second year.

Tough, durable, great contested mark, good one on one player, enough speed, clean ball handler,evasive, good endurance - The complete package.

For some reason his KE has been down this year.

Should HAVE won the Rising Star Award in 2010.

Need one of the draft expects to advise why he lasted until pick 20.

What part of every poster who's watched a lot of him fawning over him since S20's post gave you that impression?

Reading between the lines - I get the impression that some posters have seen few games involving Fyfe.

Which is fairly typical on BF - posters having opinions without seeing much of the player.

Well since the Ben and I are the only ones who said we love him after S20, who were you referring to?

Stop hiding behind your little pot shots and name names.

You will need to ask BTG.

He quoted one sentence out of my post - referring to S20 - And used the word fawning -

My post merely discussed how FYFE is a potential gun.

Agree 100% with s20's summation of Fyfe.

Question for Ant555

Why was Fyfe selected at Pick 20 in the 2009 ND ?

Or has he jumped out of the ground and exceeded expectations ?

Strange thing is he still spends a lot of time at half forward.

Rubbish.

Why was Fyfe selected at Pick 20 in the 2009 ND ?

Because about 15 clubs passed a total of 19 times before Freo took him.

What lines? What posters? One person asks a question three people answer it.

Dead-set making shit up.

Ha.
Ha, ha, ha.
Furthermore, ha.

Lucky we've got an expert around who knows everything & sees everything.

I'm the one who hasn't seen much of Fyfe, and I actually stated that was my reason for asking what others thought of him.

I'll never know how you get from A to E so frequently.

Rated pretty high in WA, maybe a little less over here but was always thought of as a very good player.

Now one for the short memory department.
Mr Tool himself Hutchy belting on about how Geelong can not win a flag with the current forward problems.
Hellooo Hutchy but where not the same questions being raised in 2009 after the forwards performance in the 2008 GF.
Personally i like that they have no direct go to guy, makes them more unpredictable with some one stepping up each week.

Brilliant.

What about him predicting Melbourne to make top 4 and now saying they will make the 8.

I have barely read or viewed any so called media experts' opinions in a few weeks.

Funnily enough I'm a much happier person when it comes to football lately.

Possibly why they are called media experts (who happen to "report" on football) and not football experts. Mike Sheahan = "chief football writer", says nothing about having any football knowledge.

On Fyfe, have seen a bit of him due to having Foxtel and Freo having so many games televised on Fox. Out and out gun in the making, 2/3 the way there in his 2nd season. I can see where the similarities to Hird come from. Good endurance, great overhead mark, capable of the brilliant whilst being ultra consistent at the basics, seems to have time when there is none, decision making outstanding etc etc. He seems a true footballer and a decent athlete.

If that rumour about him being bullied by other players at Freo are true, Hird should be giving him a call sooner rather than later.

Unfortunately I think that bullying post was somebody taking the mickey.

When you want something bad enough, you're prepared to believe anything.

Yes you asked S20 about Fyfe - Like I asked you about Rioli against hawthorn.

Dont need BTG and RIG to get involved !

 

[yaco55]

S20

Dont forget that most of the leading MIDS - are spending time ( resting ) in the forward line - instead of the interchange bench.

Had a couple of 30 possession games - Must be more of a GUN than expected - if he is spending more time in the forward line.

And Hutchy predicted the GC would make the final 8.

Do agree with his thoughts expressed on footy Classified that the Bulldogs need to appoint a new coach and continue to regenerate their list.:

Don't need them to get involved?

It's a discussion forum. When I asked a question on something I had little knowledge of, I was pretty content for everybody to offer their thoughts

Really?
You must be the only one who's noticed that. Well done, thanks for reminding me.

Gee really?
Thanks for pointing that out. No-one else noticed.

i actually remember seeing something about him coping it from the freo players for looking like a navi from avatar
