This week on Dyl & Friends I'm joined by 2x Brownlow medallist and one of the greats of the AFL, Nat Fyfe.
Nat is one of the most down-to-earth guys you'll come across, and it became clear that playing AFL football is only a small part of his story. We spoke about his passions and beliefs outside of footy, including his off-season surf trips, his business in India & his plans for retirement. Nat opened up on his own struggles with fulfilment & chasing success, and also spoke about the evolution of his hunger and drive throughout his career. A really insightful and different conversation with an all-time great of the game.

Fuck, genuinely one of the most insightful and articulate footy players I’ve heard speak. Don’t get to hear Fyfe talk in long form much at all outside of the 5 minute news soundbite segments

[@drewzy_]

I love this man, couldn’t ask for a better person to have represented the club for the past 15 years

@@Bigconehead very true

[@peekabooicancu]

I've got so many more questions for Nat, more footy related. How the captaincy was and how he felt about stepping down, how he actually prepares to be one of the best players, footy culture and his thoughts, how he has become so articulate, the business of footy and some of his sponsorship opportunities, his thoughts on Freo being 30 years without a flag, how he handles the fame in a small town like Perth, the aftermath of 2013, the bounce back from injury, his farming background... Freo players barely get interviewed, and so there's so much to explore! Hopefully there's another interview in future.

[@anguswatson9720]

fyfey is a very well spoken bloke

[@nathanspaghetti]

I'm not a Freo fan, nor did I know much about Fyfe prior to this (beyond his status as an incredible footballer) but this chat is exactly what I needed today.

[@kanebuchanan7203]

fyfe. My favourie player over the last 10 years. and after the last few podcasts ive heard, the most inspiring voice in the game as well

[@tom.kennedyyyy]

Wicked podcast, would’ve loved if Nat had the chance to expand on some of his points and have some more topic related questions thrown at him

[@ryanjones8462]

Been feeling flat the last few days. This chat gave me some real perspective...also I want to travel with Nat so bad now!

[@erinfogarty5379]

Ditto. Certainly an inspiring, thoughtful, philosophical player and person tbh. I don't think I missed a word when Nat spoke

[@JoanneCollins-elegantlywasted]

My favourite all time Footballer,amazing man and a great roll model for our younger players,a lot of other footballers could learn a lot from him about being faithful to you Club 💜💜⚓⚓

“Great player even better bloke” Nick Boys

[@Humanityiscomedy]

Chasing that feeling is the cycle of a drug addict, always chasing that feeling again, but it's never the same as the first time, Indians have the right way to life. Forget all this artificial crap, nothings more important than family. I've never understood how we stick our old into nursing homes, they bring us up from birth but when they become hard to look after we throw them away. Bizarre in my eyes. I love fyfes perspective on life, I'm a very spiritual person also, and listening to him talk is so refreshing.

[@Mfunky9869]

Really respect the bloke and his philosophy , has obviously worked hard at his profession but have to acknowledge that it helps having the money to be able to experience what he has. Having said that he could have gone in a completely different direction. Great interview

[@dannapoleon5887]

I want more. 💜

[@Crusherbreen]

Dominator…..unstoppable in his hey day

[@falcon5095]

The thought of Fyfe most likely disconnecting himself from footy when he retires is a weird feeling.

[@Malcolm-McIntyre]

Love this man

[@alexschache]

love this guy

[@TheGreatbee123]

Dyl a bit hungover here 😂 Love ya Fyfey

[@NickMarshallMusic]

Dyl I hope you listened to Rubin's podcast with Huberman and Jack Kruse. mind blowing.

[@stephenabeach1303]

I was trying to figure out who nat reminds me of and i couldn't put my finger on it. Matthew mcconaughey comes to mind i feel he will probably be similar go find himself for few years an start settling down wife kids etc into his 40s.

[@mattmc5246]

this comparison came to mind to me as well.... such a fascinating "life - arc" and so many things to relate / learn from them

[@maxwatkins7032]

Fyfe is not ur avg footy player

[@chillout985]

My suggestion for Nathan is mantra or Sports psychologist :-)

[@chillout985]

Thankyou for your insights 😊

[@blackie75]

Nathan Fyfe, a person of substance...who would have thought?

[@macharvey5262]

His outlook reminds me of rancey

[@roberthvistendahl8635]

sum my life now or never where's nat fyfe?

[@roberthvistendahl8635]

laura and the love aura spore a child

[@davemacalpine1983]

I can’t “un hear” the heavy breathing haha

[@Fyfe4life07]

My boy 💜💜it’s just a shame Dylan always makes these pos casts about him and his experiences Jesus it was about the interviewee that being Nat and how many times does he have to drop the f bomb in his podcasts I swear as much as anyone but this Dylan makes it a necessity in all his podcasts so glad Nat was professional and did not sink to his level Nat Fyfe forever my fav and always keeping it classy 🥰

[@clubbysports]

Nat Fyfe is so much better than Dylan Buckley. We hate that guy!

[@user-zm6zw5by3s]

One word covers all religions FAITH And you find the answers through thay

[@dannyboygoldfish926]

Earth is flat, four pillars with firmament. Ever read the bible? Once you believe in God fully your life becomes like neo from matrix 😂. Don't let the blazing darts of the demons sway your upright spirit, so don't let them trick you because they can pretend and lie.

[@maddirl]

Jesus is the answer you are searching for

[@huddome]

Why would nat turn to jesus if he has more than most. Not sure he thinks along your lines. Science is really making in roads these days.

[@maddirl]

@@huddomeeveryone needs Jesus

[@huddome]

Not sure what that means.? Anyways ,all the best

[@maddirl]

@@huddome I was replying to you saying why would Nat turn to Jesus. Everyone needs to turn to Jesus!

[@huddome]

My previous statement...cheers

[@marcbackshall8747]

Most over rated player in the AFL

[@ethan76708]

He is too old now and injury prone but he is arguably the second best midfielder of this decade either him or danger dusty obviously 1 his prime was incredible

[@lsong8461]

Boooooring zzzzzzzzz who actually sits through the whole of one of these
