Fremantle coach Ross Lyon insists hes not worried about the trade speculation surrounding some of his AFL stars, declaring the Dockers are a destination club who will soon be a powerful on-field force again.Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe sent a shock through the Dockers earlier this week when he said he would explore his free agency options before deciding whether to re-sign with Fremantle.Fyfe is contracted until the end of next season, but the 24-year-old would be hot property on the open market if he decides to leave under free agency.And there are rumours goalsneak Hayden Ballantyne might explore a move away from the club.Lyon says Ballantyne hasnt indicated to him that he wants to be traded.Chris Mayne, Zac Clarke, Matt de Boer, and Clancee Pearce are unrestricted free agents who could be on the move, while the future of uncontracted midfielder Michael Barlow is also unclear.Fringe midfielder Nick Suban has already been linked to a move east.But there is some good news for Fremantle.Homesick GWS forward Cam McCarthy is desperate to move to the Dockers, while Hawthorn premiership midfielder Bradley Hill has also expressed a desire to switch to Fremantle.And rising GWS star Rory Lobb could also end up at the Dockers after reports emerged the 23-year-old was exploring a move back to WA.Fremantle are likely to finish 16th this year after snaring just three wins from 19 games.The Dockers have struggled to attract key position players in recent years, leaving some noticeable holes in both defence and attack.But Lyon was doing his best to spruik the club on Friday, saying he fully expects his current stars to keep buying in, and others to join them.We see ourselves as a big club, Lyon said.Over the last three years weve won the second most games. For four years weve played finals. Theres only been a couple of clubs who have done that.Were about to unveil a $107m (training and administration) facility the likes this country hasnt seen, and is unlikely to see again for a fair while.Weve got some of the best under 23s in the country, or 24 ... Fyfe, (Harley) Bennell, (Michael) Walters, (Lachie) Neale - those sort of guys.And were 52,000 members. Weve got powerful sponsors. So why wouldnt you want to come here if youre a WA kid?AFL great Mick Malthouse predicts Fremantle will miss the finals again next year - and hes not alone.But Lyon is optimistic he can orchestrate a quick turnaround.Beliefs a choice, Lyon said.Results are nice to have, but I dont need results to believe in where were heading.I believe were going to work our way through. Historys littered with clubs that go down and come back up, and we believe were going to be one of those clubs.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Nate Ebners Olympic journey is over, and while he isnt returning to the New England Patriots with a medal, he feels he has learned important lessons from his time in rugby sevens.Ebner and his U.S mens rugby teammates came to Rio targeting a spot on the podium, but those dreams ended on Day 2, leaving the team with a ninth-place finish. Ebner, who won a Super Bowl with the Patriots, now returns to his franchise with a new outlook on pressure situations and with added tackling techniques he is eager to try in the NFL. He said it will be a little strange returning to the Patriots but that it is also second nature, as he has been with the team since 2012.He said he believes his time in rugby has had an impact both on him and on his friends and family, who told him they have enjoyed watching him in rugby as much as football. Ebner will return to the United States with plenty of stories, though it will take time for the whole experience to sink in.From his time in rugby, Ebner learned that he can be very focused, and he has developed an increased mental resilience in the face of mistakes.The biggest thing I take from rugby is that its so relatable to life, as in so many things can go wrong quickly, but you cant dwell on it, and the quicker you put it behind you and get on to the next task, you have a better chance of succeeding, Ebner said.It teaches you not to dwell on things which have gone bad. No one has ever played a perfect sevens game, and you have to go with the punches. And when things dont go your own way, you have to go to the next task.Football is a little different as turnovers are ttwo a game, and while you want those back, rugby is really that way -- you have to get back up and play again later in the day.ddddddddddddThere are a lot of things to learn about rugby as a sport and what its taught me in my life from a character standpoint and the camaraderie with my teammates. Theyre friends Ill have for the rest of my life, and I could talk about rugby forever.On the field, Ebner adapted to rugbys different tackling techniques and sees similarities with the open-field tackles he has to make in the NFL. He will look into those intricacies further when he returns to America, and he hopes to see some of the athletes he faced here in Rio give the NFL a crack in the future.Talking about Olympic favorite Fijis players and whether they could play in the NFL, Ebner said: Theyd be great, look at them.They invaded the contact area, and if they picked up the rules, Im sure theyd be great -- just like some of those American football boys, if they grew up with rugby, Im sure theyd be great too. Hopefully we can get guys like that in the USA playing rugby.The whole experience of the Olympics left Ebner with no regrets, despite the U.S. teams ninth-place finish. He will hang his U.S. shirt proudly on the walls of his house alongside his Patriots jerseys.Its been a once-in-a-lifetime amazing experience that Ill remember forever for what it is individually, and I remember the Super Bowl in the same way, Ebner said. Its been awesome and Im lucky that Ive got to experience both. ' ' '
