One out here. Don't want him.

Personal opinion.
Times that by two..

I would spend our hard earned on Shiel or Kelly instead.

Dusty is a quality player and all, but we need more silk & class not another inside bull who has perfected the fend-off, we've got one in our backyard already.

Fyfe is not in our age window and rates himself too much now anyways. Seems to be all about him and his 'brand' not Freo and his team mates.. sad.

PS: If we finish bottom 4 and use that pick on the Dustbin I'll lose my shite..

How is Fyfe not in our age window? He's 6 months younger than Cunnington. If he's too old to be part of our next premiership window then Cunners, Ziebell, JMac etc are as well.

Hes also younger than Martin.

I would also be rapt to get Dusty, agree that he is a gun and the criticisms are superficial. Would be a super pick-up and I have no doubt the club have him high on the radar.

But anyone who follows football knows that free agents become available each year and lots of clubs will make approaches to them. Damo is speculating, just like we do here. The difference is, he pretends he has more information than anyone else and makes a big fanfare about it, waiting for the audience to hush as he announces his scoop and then basks in the false narrative - perpetuated by JB and other sycophants - that Damo is the foremost news-breaking football journalist. He's neither foremost nor a journalist.

When his exclusive inevitably doesn't happen, he just pretends he never said it and gets away with this shit repeatedly because he's never held to account. For example, why didn't Fat Hutchy or Senile Sam call him out last week about stopping the GF Footy Show All Dancing All Singing Extravaganza to announce breathlessly that Boomer was going to join Collingwood? It's because they think the football public is stupid enough to value hearing the "exclusives" without ever getting frustrated that they prove to be wrong.

Damo sympathisers (are there any?) might point to the one or two he's got right over the years. I'd point them to a broken clock.
Only thing Ill correct.

JB is not a sycophant. Doesn't like the bloke at all. He was just reading footy show script.

I've been told by a (reliable) Freo source that his injuries are a ticking time bomb, FWIW he could be a 21yr old and it's still a massive buyer beware for 1.2 mill a season going forward..

There's a risk for every player though but granted, it might be higher with Fyfe given his injury history.

Personally, I would love us to take that risk to try to land the player of his generation.

Prefer Dusty to Fyfe, I don't think he will get to the level of his pre injury days.

I disagree, but of course it's absolutely possible.

He was ridiculous in that final JLT match. I think he'll have a huge year.

True, perhaps I'll be wrong I do suppose there will be a bit of time to get a read on how he is going, I would assume that the dialogue is happening.

2 years ago yeah I would be all over it like the Trumpster on his Twit-a account, but just recently it looks like his Management team have started turning him into a brand for a quick cash grab.

For example they had a show on the other day all about him travelling to the states to do his preseason with an NFL side and a team of specialised trainers, all while his team mates busted their gut in 40 degree heat back here in WA.

The doco was shot like he was LeBron James they were talking about, not an AFL player who at the end of the day has won individual awards but hasn't won a single Premiership medallion.

I can see the Freo boys turning on him internally ala Gold Coast did with Gaz because it's the Fyfe Show being force fed over here..
 
Feel like his handsomeness comes out more. Richmond's guernsey makes anyone look like a loser.

Handsome?, is this what the ladies find handsome?
