Fremantle captain Nat Fyfe has vowed to “turn the place upside down” in his bid to arrest his inaccuracy in front of goal after notching six behinds in the Dockers 15 point win against Hawthorn on Sunday.

As fans filtered out of Optus Stadium, Fyfe emerged once more from the rooms and spent around 15 minutes practicing his goal kicking.

The 29-year-old alternated between a mix of set shots and kicks on the run in a clear sign of his dedication to curing his goal kicking woes.

Fyfe was heavily criticised last year by triple premiership coach Mick Malthouse who declared finishing a major reason he did not consider the dual Brownlow medallist a champion of the game.

Fyfe said he believed continued practice would improve his goal kicking.

“I’m turning the place upside down trying to work on it,” Fyfe told Fox Footy post-match.

“But just keep practising, more iterations.”

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir also backed Fyfe to turn his fortunes around.

As flagged during the week, Fyfe split his time between the midfield and forward line but could’ve ripped the game from Hawthorn’s grasp if he was accurate in his time up forward.

“Clearly he would’ve like to execute better in front of goals but the opportunities he created for himself were great and that’s the most important thing, the process, we can work on the execution,” Longmuir said.

“It was a couple of snaps, some on the run and a couple of set shots today but he’s putting plenty of work in behind the scenes.

“He does plenty of goal kicking.

“I think it’s going to be one of those things that clicks for him. I really do. I think his technique is pretty sound and once he gets one away, he’ll be right.

“He looked dangerous forward when he was forward.

“There was a time in the second or third quarter when it looked like they were getting on top and he was forward and he put himself on ball to arrest momentum and he’s got a license to do that.

“For the most part, he got the balance right.”
