Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir has lashed "incredibly unfair" criticism of Nat Fyfe and backed the dual Brownlow Medallist to respond to his disappointing first game as a full-time forward.
After an impressive pre-season, Fyfe's much-vaunted opening game against St Kilda fizzled into a relatively anonymous goalless, nine-touch effort, with the former Dockers captain shut down by Callum Wilkie in the 15-point loss.
