(186), contested marks (43), smothers (19) and Dream Team points (98.4 per game). His form led him to be considered as a potential All-Australian team selection and gained comparisons to past champion James Hird. Fyfe polled an equal team high 13 Brownlow Medal votes and was selected in the initial All-Australian squad of 40 but did not make the final team. At the end of the 2011 season, Fyfe resigned with Fremantle on a three-year deal, set to expire in 2014. Fyfe made a strong start to the 2012 AFL Season with a best-on-ground performance against Geelong in their Round 1 match at Patersons Stadium, recording 30 disposals and 2 goals in the 4-point win over the Cats. Fyfe began dealing with a shoulder injury during April, and attempted to play through it, but was forced out and underwent surgery in May after dislocating it at training.

Fyfe only missed one game for the remainder of the season, missing a game against Adelaide in Round 20 due to an ankle injury incurred on the morning of the match in his hotel room.

Fyfe had a hand in leading Fremantle to a 16-1-5 win–loss record, helping them finish third on the ladder, and reaching their first ever AFL Grand Final in club history, but despite having an equal game-high 28 disposals in the match, the Dockers were defeated by Hawthorn by 15 points, ending the club's best season in their 19-year history just short of their first premiership success. Fyfe had a strong final's series, averaging 26.0 disposals. Fyfe announced early in 2014 that he would not consider extending his contract with Fremantle until later in the
