Footy cubs are not like other workplaces, but they are a workplace, and Nat has to figure out where he wants to spend the next three to five years working. Nat is the best at what he does in the country, and there are 17 other clubs who would move heaven and earth to sign him, so he has more options than most. He should take the time to weigh those options.
I reckon Fyfe loves playing for Freo. There's a part of him that is a country kid from Lake Grace, and would be loathe to leave. But he's a man of lofty ambitions, and I reckon he'd relish the idea of playing part of his career 'on the big stage' for a big Victorian club. But which of the big Melbourne clubs will be close to a premiership in 2 years? I'm just grateful Richmond are imploding, because if they were knocking on the door he'd probably consider it. I don't reckon he'd join Hawthorn. He seems to genuinely dislike them.
If we can right the ship next season, I reckon he signs a two year extension to leave the door open for another crack at FA in his prime. .
