Nathan Fyfe "reveals" something he's already publicly mentioned several times over the past decade....(https://metalneverbends.forumotion.com/users/3115/50/25/04/smiles/3856699174.gif)

Must still be disappointed that We picked conca  above him, but not as much as we are, yet 3 premierships takes away a lot of the disappointment.

Fyfe went the year before Conca in Dusty's draft but he was still on the board at our second pick which we used on Griffiths - Freo took him with the very next pick... :shh

Did we take Big Bad Benny before Fyfe?

WTF were our recruiters thinking, was that Jacksomething guy in charge back then?

Fyfe was a second round pick (pick 20) straight after we took Griffiths at pick 19.

We got Dusty at pick 3 and Astbury at pick 35.

Not every club had a pick before 20 but we had two as did Port...the biggest losers by far however were Melbourne who had three picks before 20 and passed on both Martin & Fyfe... :shh

Fyfe surprised a lot of people.

I've always been more annoyed at Griffiths for being such a let down than at our recruiting team for not picking Fyfe.

Griffiths was 200/101, could run, huge leap, and kick a drop punt 60+ any day. What a shame he was probably softer than Vickery. Built like Tarzan, played like Jane.

Fyfe was a twig which put a lot of clubs off  and we needed another big bodied KPF with Richo gone....I personally wanted Carlisle at that pick...can't recall many of our supporters wanting Fyfe as I think they had visions of another Fiora over Pavlich scenario... :shh

Yes, the one and only Francis “Betamax” Jackson.  :clapping
