This week Ross Lyon has said that if they can't make Nat believe he may not stay.  Today Barlow (who is now out for Sunday's game) has added fuel to the fire: "...if Nat doesn't see the club improving and the direction going the way he expects to and wants it to, then he's got to be able to look at options elsewhere." 

-OOC in 2017
-Will be a RFA in 2017
-Has put contract talks on hold
-Is awaiting the new CBA before negotiating with Freo
 
It all sounds eerily similar to one of our own, unfortunately:wacko:
 
A lot to play out here.  It will be the Dangerfield circus all over again! 
I doubt we will be close enough to top 4/serious finals next year for him to choose the Dees so another elite player will end up at a top 4 finals type club, if he leaves...sigh... 
 
Freo should have made him captain and locked him away last year when they had the chance with the post Brownlow euphoria and looking at top 4 again this year! 
 

I would stay away looking at Fyfe until he demonstrates he is a 100% fit. Odd comment from Lyon and frankly dodgy.  Long term injured stars are in no position to cherry pick for success.

If he comes as a free agent then great.  

Next year he will play, leg will probably be fine and will pay good football. 


Fremantle may look at moving him on.  There window is shut for 5-8 years so Fyfe at 25yo would fetch them 2 first round picks and a bit of salary cap to chase WA players like Hogan and Cripps.  You add those two plus McCarthy, you are starting to build a good spine for 8-10 years.  If he is non committal as a club you need to look to move him on.  If you crystal ball free agency there is no guarantee that the AFL will keep compensation for clubs that lose players so clubs need to look at trading players out before they hit free agency if that player won't commit to the club.

I still think free agency needs to effect the club getting the player, for example Frawley, Hawthorn should lose their first round pick, the structure now means top clubs can maintain youth whilst topping up their list.

Stay away?  You are kidding 

Is Fyfe in play? Do we want to lose Hogan? If not, then Fyfe is not in play

Given that it would take a kings ransom and more to get him, Fyfe better be a 100% if he were on the market and we were interested.  Been there before with Kelvin Templeton. A champion dudded by injury and we got lumped with him at great cost.

Fyfe is exploring his free agency options and wants to see what Lyon has planned for the future.

Can't see him leaving but success and money talk. Should we go hard for this guy? After Tom and Oscar have signed on the addition of Hurley would be such a bonus but now it's not desperate because Tmac is still at the club...

Thoughts?

Definite chase in my book

He knows Freo are gone and window closing why else would he go on tv declaring himself "available"

I know he has said all of that.

But I couldn't in my wildest dreams ever see someone like Fyfe leave Freo.

He just doesn't seem like the kind of guy to leave. 

Unless of course he had a fall-out with the club.

Edited by stevethemanjordan

Isn't he a country boy from near Freo who is very close to his family? 

Can't see him going anywhere.  

Will recieve 17 large offers 

As much as i would love to have him in our team, the amount of $$$ we would have to pay would put too much pressure on the cap for our own future stars.  No harm in inquiring.

 


He and Jaegar share similar qualities :rolleyes:

He's from Lake Grace, country WA. Was neighbours with Cale "the man" Morton.

Hearing his interview yesterday sounds like he is definitely on the out from Freo. 

 

We are also due for another Dangerfield-Esque thread of 150 pages that will equate to nothing.

The beauty here is that we get to see if the leg's come good before we play in the space (unlike O'Meara and Prestia).  We are now a destination club without doubt IMO and can afford to be choosy going forward.  No need to entertain Lumumba type trades where the desperate need for run off half back and line breaking abilities outweighed the existing concerns about H's mental state / robustness.

Losing enthusiasm for the Lyon methods?  Who could blame him.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
