NAT Fyfe says the Fremantle Dockers will “do the right thing” for a boy who was heartbroken at being left hanging at yesterday’s game against Essendon.

It might not have been the easiest shift for his team yesterday but was hard not to feel sorry for the young fan who cut a sad figure when he couldn’t get a high-five from his heroes at Etihad Stadium yesterday.

Decked out in the purple and white, the smiling boy is seen holding out his arm at the Dockers’ Essendon clash, for a high-five as the players run into the tunnel.

Seeing the boy’s hopeful face, an older supporter attempts to help him by directing players’ attention towards the boy’s open hand.

But, with every player that ignores him, the boy’s smile weakens.

After finally admitting his luck is out, the upset youngster retreats to his seat with a face that says it all.

The clip was shared countless times on social media by furious fans.

“All the champ wanted was a high 5 from his heroes. You all ignored him and the look on his face tells the story, shame. I hope you make it up to this young fan,” Perth DJ Brad Swanville wrote on Facebook.

After seeing the footage, Fyfe has called for the boy’s parents to contact the club so they could make it up to him.

“I’ve been briefed on it this morning, it¹s not great watching,” he said.

“We love all of our fans that turn out, particularly the all the fans that wear the number seven on the back.

“We didn’t see the young fella and missed the opportunity to give him a high-five, usually we would. I’m sure if he or his mum contacts the club then we’ll do the right thing.”

Perhaps the Dockers had their minds on other things, having ended the game with a 107-92 loss to Essendon.
