Kane Cornes takes second swipe at Fremantle skipper Nat Fyfe’s decision to surf with hamstring injury – The West Australian

Kane Cornes has taken another cheeky dig at Fremantle skipper Nat Fyfe, as the superstar revealed he may be in doubt for this weekends Western Derby.
Fyfe held a press conference via Zoom today where he admitted his hamstring hasnt pulled up as well as I would like after playing forward in the win over St Kilda.
Cornes, who questioned Fyfes decision to go surfing with Aussie legend Mick Fanning while nursing the hamstring complaint on the Gold Coast last week, shared the Dockers injury update on his own Twitter.

Fyfe today admits his hammy hasnt pulled up as well as I would like, funny that…, he tweeted.

I hope for Fremantles sake and Nat Fyfes sake that there isnt an issue with that hammy, he said.
I reckon itll look pretty ordinary if youve got an issue and youve been out surfing.
I dont get the obsession with AFL players doing extracurricular activities during the season. Youve got 15 weeks holiday at the end of the season to go surfing and wakeboarding, I dont think its a good look for Fyfe to be going surfing a week after doing a hamstring.
Its not the first time the Dockers skipper has found himself caught up in a surfing scandal.
In April, Fyfe was pictured hitting the waves with Kookaburras captain and Margaret River local Aran Zalewski while the State remained in COVID-19 lockdown.
Fyfe was later cleared of breaching the intrastate border restrictions due to his work for his fathers trucking company.
Fremantle general manager Peter Bell has defended his skipper from Cornes surfing criticism.

Speaking on SEN, Bell said the club dont have a problem with Fyfes activities outside of football.
Hes certainly had Nat in his sights the past couple of weeks, Kane, Bell laughed.
From our perspective, Nats a professional. Hed been cleared for full training during the week.
He knows his body well If he thinks that hes right to go and given he completed training at 100 per cent capacity, its not a big issue from our point of view.
Both Bell and Fyfe admitted he may find himself playing forward this weekend against cross-town rivals West Coast.
He wasnt being marked against, he was providing a focal point in the contest for us and he just doesnt get outmarked that often, Bell said.
