The dual Brownlow medallist has been dealing with plantar fascia issues "on and off for a while now", the club said on Monday.

RE: Nat Fyfe, I wasn't aware of this before I selected him in my starting squad, was this public knowledge in the pre-season?
Just asking because if I'd known this I wouldn't have considered picking him.

No, this wasn't public knowledge

Some may have known about it, but I had nine Freo players flagged as having pre season issues, and Fyfe wasn’t one of them.

Leaves a bit of a bad taste in the mouth, this sort of thing, my other choice besides Fyfe was Ziebell, which would've given me a much better start...and saved me a trade.

100%. I started Fyfe because I had some bonus cash freed up late in the piece, rather than because I wanted to, and I’d basically decided to trade him out to Ziebell before the late out news came through. Maybe I should have just banked the cash, or maybe this one was hard to dodge. He’s gone now though, and I’m happy to have Ziebell.

Explains why he didn't play any midfield minutes.
Unfortunately clubs are going to bs this stuff forever and a day. No point getting upset about it.

I'm not upset, just bringing to light something that hasn't been discussed yet, that there was a pre-existing injury that hadn't been divulged to the public. It's just data collecting really, avoid the older players with injury history (because there are probably other injuries there in the background we might not even know about) until it's too late :confused:

Traded him as soon as I heard he was out in rd2. Like you, I wouldn't have picked him if I had known about the injury.
Just disappointing that clubs play these games.
