Blow to Fyfe in nailbiter

FREMANTLE skipper Nat Fyfe has copped a sickening concussion as the Dockers overcame a late scare to beat St Kilda by five points in their AFL clash at Optus Stadium.

The Dockers ended up holding off the visitors for a 11.5 (71) to 9.12 (66) victory.

Fremantle initially looked set for an easy victory after opening up a 31-point lead early in the second quarter.

But the Saints clawed their way back into the contest and two late goals to close to within five points with just eight seconds remaining.

Fyfe’s day ended midway through the third quarter when he clashed heads with St Kilda’s Josh Battle.

He lay dazed on the ground for more than a minute and couldn’t stand up by himself.
