The Fremantle Dockers expect  Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe (pictured) to be back better than ever in 2017.

Fyfe missed all but the first five games of the 2016 season after breaking his leg and the club fell from Minor premiers in 2015 to 16th without the midfielder.

Dockers teammate Alex Pearce, who suffered a similar injury and has been  doing rehab in the US with Fyfe  says the 25 years return is on track and he expects him to return to full form.
