Fyfe speaks

“It’s very strange it’s not my style to retire but I’ll be soaking in every single minute if this is it,” he says.

“It was a disappointing performance but hopefully we can bounce back.

“It’s been an absolute privilege to be supported by you to grow up in front of you.

“We‘ve got a massive game next week I like to think across my career i’ve never given up and we’ll embrace that as a footy club.”

He goes on a lap of honour in what could be the last time we see him at Optus.
