There is no concern for Fyfe missing H&A games at this stage so it’s business as usual for those that are willing to start him at Round 1, the previous injury history is a concern however on the positive side he has completed nearly the entire pre-season.
Game Notes: Adelaide v Port Adelaide
Fyfe is the only player at Fremantle that averaged 25 Disposals or more last season, with the departure of Neale there will be a heavy midfield reliance on Fyfe in 2019 especially early with injuries also impacting the Dockers.

Opposition teams may elect to attempt to shut down Fyfe in 2019 but he has shown that he can play right through any tags, he is in a great position to be a major ball winner at Fremantle this season.
