Nat Fyfe recreates iconic shirtless pic with Brownlow Medal
Nat Fyfe has done it again.
Four years after a photo of the Fremantle Dockers star doing media commitments shirtless after his first Brownlow Medal triumph went viral, Fyfe has recreated the iconic moment.
In 2015 Fyfe was snapped doing phone interviews wearing his medal without a shirt.
And due to popular demand the 28-year-old posed for another shirtless snap on Tuesday, 24 hours after snaring his second Brownlow on Monday night.
This year’s edition wasn’t exactly the same, with Fyfe sporting an arm brace this time around.
His beanie was also darker and he was using a landline phone rather than a mobile.
But social media immediately went into meltdown nonetheless.
You have to admit, the Brownlow Medal sure is stunning to look at .... 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #NatFyfe https://t.co/e4jWvR3Vye

Fyfe would trade Brownlows for premiership
The next medal Fyfe wants draped around his neck is for winning an AFL premiership.
Amid the elation of his second Brownlow on Monday night, Fyfe spoke of his impatience around achieving team success.
He has never captained Fremantle in a final and their only grand final was the 2013 loss to Hawthorn.
"I'd hate to be sitting at the end of my career with two or maybe three Brownlows and no premiership," Fyfe said.
"I'd trade these in, in a heartbeat, just for the opportunity to be able to play in another grand final.
"I'm so jealous of the teams that get to compete this weekend.
"Let's hope that the next medal around my neck is (for) a premiership."
He was in the rare position of winning the Brownlow without being able to thank his senior coach in person, after the Dockers sensationally sacked Ross Lyon last month.
Fyfe paid rich tribute to Lyon's influence on his career, saying a kick up the bum last December had helped propel him to another Brownlow.
"That was enough of a spark to really get going," Fyfe said.
"It's a hard call. It's a big call from the club to make this (sacking Lyon), particularly not knowing who the next appointment is going to be.
"You won't be able to replace a Ross Lyon - he will be back in footy circles ... I'm sure, because he's just so valuable to the game."
