Re: 14. Brad Fisher - AndSmithMustScore
We need to find a tall big bodied lad to take up the CHF position.
If Brad is asked to play CHF i can see his output from last season dropping as he's faced with a better opponent and more attention.
Needs to be the third tall option in our forward line.

That's good to hear, thanks for that.
As long as he doesn't try to rush back and do more damage to it.

Re: 14. Brad Fisher - AndSmithMustScore
Good call by cwebb.
Fisher it seems will be back for this round against the Aints.
Not a monent to soon either as we definately missed him last week as a forward option when looking for targets inside the 50.
Had he played last week the result might have been a bit different.

We missed him last week big-time and can't wait to see him back.

Not to mention across HF, where Harts really let us down in the fourth last week........concussion is no excuse.

Re: 14. Brad Fisher - AndSmithMustScore
I thought he did pretty well on sat night considering he had only played one 1/2 for the whole year so far. I heard that the thumb pulled up real sore at the last training before the match so i image he played with a jab against the saints. He presented pretty well all night and good to see him pull down one of those pack marks his famous for towards the end.

Re: 14. Brad Fisher - AndSmithMustScore
He did very well considering.
I'd love to see Jake Edwards turn into another Fisher like forward and I can't see why he couldn't.
If Brad's shown anything it's that a bit of time and patience and the talent will shine through eventually.
Really looking forward to seeing how he goes with a game under his belt now against the Bumbers.

Re: 14. Brad Fisher - AndSmithMustScore
Hi all .
I'm Fishers buddy for the year . Apologies for taking so long to post . I wasn't at the game on the weekend and therefore not afforded the luxury of seeing what he was doing when not on the tv screen .
Coming back early from his injury , I wouldn't have expected him to have too much of an impact , especially in the pack marks . I didn't really see him enter any pack situations either . Overall he had a good night while being paid close attention by his opponent and it was pleasing to see him still manage to create some space for himself . He kicked his usual 2 goals and seemed to work up the ground a fair bit as well linking up well with the ball coming out of the back line and got it inside 50 on 3 occasions with 2 assists as well .
With his broken thumb , he still managed to take 11 marks even though only 1 was contested . Marking the ball at all is a big effort ! He will add a lot to our forward line again with his safe hands once the thumb is better and I think he will again be the forward flanker who plays well up the ground at times throughout each game . Like the rest of our senior guns , he still needs a bit of time to fully recover before we see his best .
Thats about it for now , good to see the man back in action again after missing the Tigers game , I was there for that misery . Next game I go to will be against the maggots in round 4 so I will only be able to report on what I see on the tv again next week against the Bummers . Looking forward to being able to see him live in action so I can see what he is actually doing when not in direct play . Feel free to include any additional info regarding Fish throughout the season .

Re: 14. Brad Fisher - AndSmithMustScore
Again , I was unable to make it to the game so I settled in front of the radio and watched snippets of the delayed telecast . The man with the longest arms in the comp had a pretty good day out , played well up the ground and offered himself as a target to assist the ball coming out of the back line or the switching of play . His customary 2 goals were both , IMO ,vital at the time although it could be fairly suggested all our goals were vital .
Not so sure his thumb is fully healed as yet though . While he took 3 contested marks and hit a few other packs , I reckon he will start taking more contested marks per game over the next few weeks . He took 10 uncontested marks as well , indicating his ability to find space up the ground where he proved to be very servicable .
With improved midfield delivery to the forward 50 this season , I look forward to seeing his reliable hands winning more of the ball in the air and hopefully kicking 3 or 4 rather than the 2 he seems to kick consistently .
Below are his stats which I read in the hun yesterday .
Disposals; 1stQ; 4 - 2ndQ; 3 - 3rdQ;6 - 4thQ; 3 . Total 16
4 contested , 12 uncontested . 14 kicks , 2 handballs
81% efficiency .
Marks; 3 contested , 10 uncontested
Inside 50; 1
Clangers; 2
Frees for/against; 0/2
Score; 2 goals , 0 behinds , 1 assist
Tog; 78%
He could improve his kicking at times , 2 clangers he could do without as much as the rest of the group . I notice he can kick a low projectory pass and have it cut off as he did on sunday around the the wing trying to go forward . Luckily the ball was knocked out of bounds and subsequently thrown in . The previous week against Essendon (sorry I failed to write up a report) he did the same from around the 50 arc , dead in front , and the same thing happened and the ball was rebounded .
A very good player for us without being a star . Top game overall though .

Re: 14. Brad Fisher - AndSmithMustScore
Sorry folks , haven't seen the last 2 games . Was playing at the same time as the Melbourne game and although I was to be at the Adelaide game , I fell very ill on saturday and am only now recovering .
looks like the Brisbane game will be the next one I go to on saturday may 17 (7:10pm start - go watch it live ppl). Hopefully the Eagles game will be beamed in live later this week for us to hopefully enjoy .
As I don't even know how many goals Fisher has kicked this week , feel free to add any input you like . I will write up his stats against wce probably on saturday .

i think brad fisher is a great footballer.Put him 1 out in the goal square 9 out of 10 times he will mark it,so i cant understand why alot of times he plays outside the 50 where he looks lost, has not got the leg speed and cant kick 40 metres,God i hate to see if we lose Fev where we will get our goals from

Re: brad fisher
Love Fev (our best player at present) but for the reasons you state above - if he was out at CHF then Fish and a couple of others would more than cover the reduction in his number of goals IMO
Hey Mods I am guilty of posting in this duplication - please tidy up the Buddy draft board and move all the duplications to their original

Re: brad fisher
Brad Fisher will play better footy if he played forward pocket. Fisher can sit in the square one on one and you will back him to take the grab. Wheres Fevola is better on the lead. So if Fevola leads and marks, distance is not a problem.

Re: brad fisher
Hmm, as a lead up type inside 50 I'd agree.
Fisher has been playing a lot up the field, more as a CHF type, marking on the lead and finding space outside 50.
He has struggled the few times he has gone inside 50 for most of the game until the weekend.
For years we have seen players drifting back and zoning off onto Fev and we cry "where is his man........somone should be loose"........Fisher played Bowden beautifully, a number of times having him caught between going to Fev and staying on Fisher.........the question is can we reproduce that form again?

Re: 14. Brad Fisher - AndSmithMustScore
Fisher needs to be used closer to goals if we are to go close to the finals. can take a mark and kick goals but just need him to stay closer to goals and not up on a wing. It would also help out fev having another target close to him

Re: 14. Brad Fisher - AndSmithMustScore
Brad had his best game of the year so far at the weekend, he was used to play behind fev in the goal square and also leading up occasionally. He kicked 2.3 and had 5 or 6 goal assists. He always seems to play well against the tiges and saints hopefully another big game nxt friday.
