ANALYSIS: 'Treat me like a first gamer': Nat Fyfe makes a successful return to AFL as Fremantle fires on all cylinders
Fremantle captain Nat Fyfe's eagerly anticipated return to AFL has been one of the most scrutinised stories in Western Australian football this season.
Those questions were answered several hours later as the dual Brownlow Medallist took on Hawthorn in his first AFL game in almost a year, after shoulder surgery and a back injury derailed his pre-season. His first stint in attack came with eight minutes remaining in the first quarter, and he provided the final handball in Lachie Schultz's first goal.Nat Fyfe is tackled by James Sicily and Lachlan Bramble of the Hawks."It's not the same as when I finished playing last time," Fyfe said on Fox Footy."And they did that. They told me where to set up at stoppages and that was a nice feeling.
