The Nathan Fyfe Thread

[The Bomber]

I'm keeping Fyfe. He will match Sidebottom's scores at the very least and I think it is about time some of us fantasy coaches catch a break with Fyfe playing well for the rest of the year. Last year the same shoulder popping out thing occurred, but that didn't stop Fyfe from becoming one of the top FWD's.

I liked Sidebottom from the start of the season, so he is already in. As for Pendles, you have 1 more week to get him in. He will score well this week, he loves ANZAC day (which i hate as a Bombers supporter), but highly doubt he will get 188+ for his price to up, and if he does manage something spectacular then his price rise will still only be minor.

With 340K in the bank for me, I'm hoping for a straight swap with Magner next week, or a downgrade to probably Miles at this stage and an upgrade of someone else should do the trick.

He has shoulder problems and that is something he will have for the rest of his career, he might get lucky and play out the season with no more problems but it didn't take much to pop his shoulder out this time and I personally think it will be the same next time

good news for fyfe owners!!! certain starter (according to Fremantle so it could be completely untrue)  ;)

'Fremantle yesterday declared chief playmaker Nathan Fyfe a certain starter against Carlton in Perth on Friday night. Fyfe trained strongly last week after overcoming a shoulder dislocation in round three, but withdrew before the match against St Kilda last Friday on medical advice.'

I don't know - the angle I saw suggested to me even someone with no history of shoulder problems would have probably popped it out. I feel like I am leaking trades at the moment so I will only pull the trigger on him if he is another late withdrawal. I agree with the Bomber. Time we copped a break!

I am having Fyfe regrets.

Until his shoulder goes again then who knows what will happen

What are the chances of it happening? I really want Sidebum but don't want to trade Fyfe if he is fine and I just have to get him back. Mainly because I will need to get Pendles while he's at a rare low and B4 he shoots up in price again. What are people doing who have Fyfe but no Sidebum or Pendles?

I held fyfe last week so that pendles could come down in price. And if he was to not play again this week would save me a little more money again. But with pendles playing today, its a bit of a yay nay situation. If we knew the other teams it would be great, but not knowing if fyfe will play or not is annoying me. Dont know whether i should go cogs to treloar and fyfe to penldes or not. or miss treloar and go fyfe to sidebum

Pendles has a high B/e of 180 odd and he would have to play out of his skin to get that so worst case scenario is price will remain the same.

Yes but in his scenario he is eventually going to go Fyfe --> Pendles (correct me if I am wrong). This week Pendles looks the new captains choice and even if Fyfe plays his price will go down more than what Pendles probably will this week. Pull the trigger as I have said before if you are going Fyfe-->Pendles this week.

You're not the only one... Will be cheap in a couple of weeks with the 34 out of the rolling average, do we have the rocks to pick him back up?

[The Bomber]

With the team selections for this round I think he must stay and you have got to save trades.

[Ringo]

If you sgtill have him keep not worth trading him this week.

[alex87]

I'm hope Fyfe pumps out a massive score this week and burns all that burned him, and continues to do so week in week out for the rest of the season!

He'll be right to go. It's not even a leg injury - don't need your shoulder to kick a footy

Try kicking a footy without moving your shoulder... Try marking... Try handballing... Try bouncing the ball, Try tackling someone.... Try even running without moving your shoulder!

You can't!!

This is so true. Have you ever played a game of Footy Cool9? He did play with it last season,though so I'm hoping he can do it again. Have you traded him already MC? If he gets injured again he will become Pendles for me.
