No way he will leave. He is a WA boy through and through, and Freo's next captain. As a professional footballer, his manager would be remiss in his duties if he didn't explore options, but in the interviews I have seen with him he  doesn't seem motivated by money. Perhaps the current status of the Freo list may pose questions for him but not enough to leave.

    Freo is an average club with a superiority complex. Unlike the Eagles, they think they are relevant because they get decent crowds and play in Perth (a city that also tries to compensate for its inadequacy). They will go nowhere next year. 

    That said, he won't leave.

    Possibly go to WC to stay in WA but get away from Freo?

    Heard part of his interview this morning and he said he will explore every opportunity and option, that appears to me as if he is over it ar Freo and is prepared to move. Bernie is a died in the wool SA boy and has said he will go back there when he's finished football, but it didn't stop him from coming to Melbourne.

    He's what, 25, enough time to come here play a few years then go home, he seems like a fairly intelligent guy so I'm sure he won't be home sick and probably wouldn't want to play for the Eagles, that might be a bit difficult in a 2 team town.

    I think he will leave. To me he does seem the type that wants ultimate success over money. The amount of work he's done to make himself one of the best in the comp. I don't think he's "putting it out there" for the money, he's got heaps, he's already set for life.

    Freo better get their act into gear if they want to keep him but I'd say he's a strong chance to leave.

    We should offer up our 2017 picks and see what happens

    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.

     

    I don't have insight into how we divvy up our salaries but my inkling is what you have said. Fyfe would get a contract making him in the top 10 paid footballers in the AFL. We will be paying a big sum to Hogan - then we have Jones on a big sum and then with all the rising stars we have  - we assume they will continue their progression and we have to pay to retain. 

    Would love him - don't see how we can fit him in..

    the problem is not what we offer Freo - its what we have to offer Fyfe in terms of dollars and our cap.

    Big trap here, no matter what any medical says. We're not losing any "once in a million forwards" for it either

    He was their last captain too, until there was a player revolt and they gave it to Mundy.

    A revolt against him?  Why?  Not a team man?  Should a prospective suitor be concerned?

    Isn't Fyfe an unrestricted free agent?  Or did I hear wrong on SEN this monring?

    Not sure if there is a thread about this so sorry if there 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??

    We are obliged to try for this player. We will be increasingly considered an option for players like this and if the deal suits, who knows ??? Go for it !!!!!!

    Have a quick Google - he was pencilled in as the next captain right across the footy world, but I thought there had been some internal stuff which meant that he didn't get it. I could be remembering incorrectly!

    Care to elaborate on Perth's 'inadequacies'?

    Next Captain? I don't think that'll be the case at all. Everyone thought he was a shoe-in for it last year but Mundy took it on.

    I think Fyfe passed on it for a reason. He's not as heavily invested in Fremantle as people may think.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
