Nat Fyfe Brownlow Medal Speech – Freo Champion Just Gave Greatest Awards Speech in AFL History
Fremantle Docker’s star Nat Fyfe just delivered the most epic speech in AFL history.
The midfielder was classy, articulate and hilarious as he spoke to Bruce McAvaney and the room at Crown Melbourne after receiving the 2015 Brownlow Medal.
“This genuinely is a Fremantle Football Club medal tonight, I mean Bruce you could probably win a Brownlow Medal with Aaron Sandilands hitting it down your throat,” Fyfe said.
“It’s greater than me — it’s the Fremantle footy club and all our members and fans and supporters,” Fyfe said.
“We had a strong year this year, finishing on top of the ladder but obviously a disappointing end. I think we can take this home and celebrate this as a club and a community.”
In the 13-minute speech and conversation, Fyfe basically walked into the job as new Freo Captain, saying he would ‘die’ by the Dockers.
“I’de live and die by the Dockers and I wanted to do everything I could to help,” Fyfe said in response to a question about playing with a broken leg against Hawthorn in Freo’s 2015 Preliminary Final loss.

Some of the best Fyfe zingers –
Bruce: Who do the Docker boys really want to win, do they want the Eagles or the Hawks?
Nat: I don’t know which is worse, really.
Bruce: I’m just a bit worried about your date tonight, Michael Barlow, he’s been outrageous in the last 10 minutes, hasn’t he?
Fyfe: He’s been great value, Mike. I needed someone pretty sturdy to carry my bags the last couple of days so he got the call-up.
Bruce: As a young boy I read you didn’t take a footy to bed, you took a notepad to bed because you were so interested in strategies. This is pretty weird stuff.
Nat: Early days we had a very good country footy team and I was pretty fascinated in centre square bounce setups and stoppages and always keen to get an edge, but as a nine-year-old it was pretty hard to convince the other blokes to get on board.

Coming from a biased, one-eyed Eagle… Genuinely stoked for Nat Fyfe. Talented, but also an all round nice guy. Well deserved! #Brownlow
