Nat Fyfe’s Ominous Warning: ‘Seven Years of Footy Left in Me’
Fremantle Dockers’ captain Nat Fyfe has sent a clear message to the rest of the competition, declaring that he is entering his prime and has at least another seven years of top-level football left in him.
The two-time Brownlow Medalist, who will turn 29 in September, spoke candidly about his longevity in the game during an appearance on SEN. Fyfe emphasized that his understanding of the game continues to improve with each passing season, fueling his confidence in his ability to maintain peak performance well into his 30s.
“I think I’ve still got seven years of footy left in me if everything goes according to plan with my body and my mindset,” Fyfe stated. “As I get older, I get wiser, and I’m able to adapt to changes in the game. That’s my ultimate strength.”
While acknowledging that he may not become faster or stronger as he ages, Fyfe highlighted the importance of experience and mental fortitude in sustaining his elite level of play. Drawing inspiration from veteran teammate David Mundy and international sports icons like Kelly Slater, Serena Williams, and Tom Brady, Fyfe is determined to defy conventional wisdom and continue performing at the highest level for years to come.
Fyfe’s exceptional performance in the 2019 season, where he polled 33 votes in the Brownlow Medal and averaged 29 disposals per game, serves as evidence of his enduring prowess on the field. With a relentless work ethic and a strategic approach to maintaining peak fitness and mental sharpness, Fyfe is poised to remain a dominant force in the AFL for the foreseeable future.
As Fyfe sets his sights on further achievements in his career, his declaration of seven more years of footy sends a clear message to his competitors: the best of Nat Fyfe is yet to come.
