The 19-year-old said he was enjoying playing on a wing and in the midfield, but he was capable of playing key forward roles if needed, having added 14kg to his now 190cm frame since joining the club.

Hmmm let me think

1)  Ball winning
2)  Running
3)  Roving
4)  Pack marking (I will explain this one)

Pack marking is not what a FF should be doing.  They should be leading out from the square or contesting 1 on 1 in the square.  I havent seen Fyfe stand there 1 on 1 with his opponent and take a mark.  You see him running to get to the contest and taking a mark or out running his opponent to get free.
