It may be the most stressful time of year for football clubs and players but Fremantle midfielder Nat Fyfe would not want to be anywhere else.

The four remaining teams in this weekend’s preliminary finals may be under the most pressure but the competition’s other 14 clubs would willingly swap places in an instant.

Amid the frenzy that is the AFL in September, Fyfe said he tried to draw his focus onto the next training session or game.

With finals comes the All Australian team, Brownlow Medal count, AFLPA MVP award, among countless other events and honours.

The footy world is focused squarely on Fyfe and WA.

“It’s an exciting time for our footy club,” Fyfe said.

“You just have to focus on performance and preparation, that’s all I can do.

“The game on Friday is forefront of the mind.”

“It’s a busy time of year, but again, I just focus on performance.”
