That's till insufficient intent to keep the ball in play. Even kicks that slew off the boot or bounce at right angles are paid if the umpire deems that the player isn't trying to keep the ball in play.
If Fyfe had kicked towards goal, we had numbers back and were likely to have gained possession. A boundary throw in 20 metres from goal and with Darcy to contest the hitout is a much better option.
