McAsey the 'sort of person we want to bring in', says Crows recruiting boss

Adelaide recruiting manager Hamish Ogilvie has described potential Crows target Fischer McAsey as the sort of person we want to bring in ahead of Wednesday night's NAB AFL Draft

DRAFT PROFILE Bio, stats, highlights and more

Adelaide has put plenty of time into McAsey across the season, and could land him with its first pick. The Crows moved back from pick No.4 to No.6 in a deal with the Giants confident a player they liked would be available, and McAsey was never going to be off the board by No.6, despite some interest from the Swans. The Crows don't have much youth in their key-position ranks so McAsey shapes as a long-term player if they swoop. The strong-marking key back has also been used in attack at times, with his versatility and game sense a strength.

And wasn't he stoked to be called out by us....

If it means I see less Kyle Hartigan next season I'm all on board!

Yeah was just about to say that as well. Couldnt have looked more disappointed.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Welcome McAsey!!

Really solid pick, will be a superb contested marking player in either forward or defence. Best KPP in the draft

Was that sarcasm? I have not seen the footage

 

[Mr_Moogle]

You have to draft on talent first. You can't pick less talented players out of insecurity.

 

[King Elvis]

Did we miss out on who we wanted, going at pick 5?

 

[ShadeyP]

If it means I see less no Kyle Hartigan next season I'm all on board!

 

[Scorpus]

Now it's over to us to not be morons.

I'm all aboard the McAsey forward bandwagon

 

[Vader]

Did we miss out on who we wanted, going at pick 5?

Nope, got exactly the player that we'd been linked with for the last 2 weeks.

 

[Houston]

That was the least impressed I've seen a draftee look in a long time. That said, he could be a bit of a downer all the time

 

[ShadeyP]

Did we miss out on who we wanted, going at pick 5?

YES

 

[cmndstab]

Did we miss out on who we wanted, going at pick 5?

Doubt it. We've mooted going tall a while out and it was clear that McAsey wouldn't be going top 5.

 

[Bovo]

Get excited. New blood in a new era

 

[Geoffa32]

McAsey and Fog could be two good bookends going forward.

With Butts second KD.

Strengths: Intercept marking, reads of the drop of the ball, reads the ball early in flight, contested marking, marking on the lead, aerial marking, attack on ball aerially, one-touch overhead mark, closing speed, leap, clean at ground level, aggressive spoiling, reliable kick out in front of targets to lead onto, courageous, tackling, versatility to hold down key position posts at either end though looks at his best in defence

Him and Doedee for the future

That description screams key position forward.

Contested marking
Marking on the lead
Aerial marking
Attack on the ball aerially
One touch mark
Closing speed
Leap
Courageous
Tackling
Reading of the play

We have no one with that skill set. Chuck this guy forward!

I greatly doubt this, if we were red hot on Dylan we would have kept pick four.

IMHO the disappointment was we were hoping to swap pick six for pick nine since Carlton were keen on Stevens and we would still get McAsey plus the steak knives.

 

[thebirdman 24]

thought we needed an elite mid but happy with the best tall in the draft. reliable with ball in hand sounds good. hartigan/talia combo leads to a lot of re entries of their dodgy kicks.

Very happy to get quality key position talent into the club with guys like Talia approaching 30.

Can’t wait to read posts from the sudden influx of body language experts. I’m so happy with the loyalty shown by Lever after he was super positive about being drafted by Adelaide...
