Even without free agency his market value will most likely increase a bit in 3 year. Will probably be in his prime then...I think Fyfe negotiated 3 years because he would be a free agent at the end of it.

That explains the 3 years...
I think 3 years was intentional from the club
Takes him into restricted FA so we have a chance to match .. anything longer than 3 would take him in full FA and then its a lottery
Win-Win because he still gets a chance to test the market in 3 years but we get right of reply for whatever comes his way
It's smart. It's like Pendlebury getting that one year deal before his five year deal to push him into free agent territory.
Yeah, I think this is a big motivator for his contract length as well. He's not quite the biggest name at the club yet, but by the time of his next contract signing he will be. I think three years is both in his and the club's best interest.Smart move by the club. Should have plenty of money to match any offer with likely retirements of Sandi, Pav, McPharlin and maybe Mundy to offer Fyfe a big deal while the club works on setting up the next cop of superstars coming through. I see Fyfe as a Docker for life and probably next skipper.
Actually it was on the main board and the Fyfe open to offers thread 4 hours earlier, so a few of us have been riding the wave a bit longer.Haha and the news comes to you first from the US
Good work Gil
Emerging Fremantle superstar Nat Fyfe is likely to become the club's highest-paid player in a three-year deal to be announced today - believed to be worth $2.5 million - which ties him to the Dockers until the end of the 2017 season.
Are you serious?So we don't get Sam Reid & Harry Cunningham : (
As long as he pulls his finger out and starts winning some hard ball then we haven't done too badly.
Haha and the news comes to you first from the US
Good work Gil
