Nat Fyfe’s former teammate Michael Barlow predicts the two-time Brownlow medallist will once more begin as sub for this week’s conflict with Sydney after stating a ‘unique’ build-up to his AFL return.
Fyfe final weekend noticed his first AFL motion since spherical one when he was injected into the win over Hawthorn halfway by way of the third quarter.
The ex-captain had a direct affect, affecting a few clearances in a midfield cameo and roving a stoppage completely to snap a aim.

“He didn’t warm up with the team pre-game, stayed in the rooms at half time, didn’t get out of the tracksuit,” Ellis stated.
“What happens if there’s a hamstring (injury) in the first quarter? Was he going to take 20 minutes to warm up?”
Barlow stated the build-up hinted at one other cameo exhibiting, quite than full recreation, towards the Swans on the SCG on Saturday.
“It was quite unique, wasn’t it? He was doing his own thing,” Barlow stated.
“He was separating himself a little bit, which I think would suggest maybe he wasn’t right to play the full game and they just would have handled it if that was the scenario that was put in front of them.
“They’ve got through, they’ve got the kill, they’ve got the minutes.
“He’s probably sub again next week. I reckon he goes sub one more and then a full game.”
