Profile

While he is considered more of an SC player, in 2014 Fyfe stepped up to the 100+ zone in AF. 11/18 games over the ton with just two below 80 is very pleasing but he didn't have enough of those huge games to push him up to ultra premo territory. His shoulder held up but it was suspensions which would have frustrated coaches, his poor tribunal record now puts him at greater risk of further weeks out in the future. The positives are that Nat scores his points from various avenues, whether it be disposals, marks, hitouts, tackles and goals (of which he kicked 24 this season). His average did take a backward step between 2011 and 2012 but that was injury related and if he can stay fit it's hard to see him dropping below 100 in 2015.

Pros - All round scorer, keeps getting better

Cons - Injury, suspension, low ceiling


Prediction - 100-105

If he can lift his average by around 5 could be a good pick, I'm considering starting with him as a unique. Obviously injury problems are a worry

Fantastic player.

The risk of suspension/tags/low ceiling probably means he won't be starting for me though.

The kid has capped of another fantastic year winning the Doig Medal (again)

Medals mean nothing in Fantasy Footy  :P


EDIT: That said, he is in my Fanplanner team haha

[Toga]

Almost started with him this year but got talked out of it in the end... And probably a good thing with those suspensions creating headaches for owners. Might be a good POD if he cant take that next little step, but might be hard to fit in to starting teams.
