Player Watch Fischer McAsey - Steps Away from Football, Not Returning

[StickerMan]

I know the idea has been thrown around a few times on here, but is it time we give Himmelberg some exposure to playing as a KPD?

He's not cracking in to the forward line ahead of Thilthorpe.

Behind Butts and Murray we have no pure KPD so we need to get creative for this season.

You would have had hoped he would already be training as a defender if that was the case and there have been no reports.

Rendell should be relived of his duties on this one. It was a bad pick from day 1.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Sad but not surprising. I'm not angry at Fisher though. Our recruiters need to take a hard look at themselves.

Ummm...

 

[Danger_zone]

And yet had he found a new club he wouldn’t have stepped away.

Still think we wouldn’t have traded him if we could?

Yes, but only a Victorian club. Probably first time I believed that a player moving back to a home state was in best interest of the kid/player.

Hope he recovers well and gets onto another list.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Ummm...

Whoops I'm bloody tired today

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Ummm...

I meant Ogilvie obviously, sorry first day back from a long holiday brain not working!

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Yeah sorry brain still in holiday mode!

Why if the rumours are true his dad is very sick ? Bit hard to worry about footy rather than life issues

Does this mean we are able to have a player train on with us over the summer and be added to the list? Genuinely no idea so would be great to know.

 

[StonesThrow]

Would have been a tough decision for him but glad he's putting his mental health first. Good luck to him.

 

[kirky]

Yep as I called it.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

I should add I have no ill feelings towards Fischer all my ire is directed towards our recruiting team, I wanted Dylan Stephens on the night.

 

[CH Jazz]

Weak as piss. Woeful waste of a pick. Does anyone remember the look on his face draft night when we called him?? He flat out looked shattered. Called it at that moment that he’d be gone asap.

 

[MRB37]

surely ethan phillips to replace fish as some KPD backup?

It's what we recruited Madgen for.

 

[LoBu]

Not the first career to never take off. I still think the strategy to fill the spine, given they take longer to develop, then fill with mids was not a bad one.

Unfortunately it has only partially worked, with a large CHB sized hole in our rebuild. It is well known we could have had a mid gun in there instead, wouldn't be a tall one though (Serong 179cm).

Perhaps we wanted it to work more than anything, which blinded us to the issues Fish might face, but clearly nobody could anticipate COVID and health issues that eventuated.

These things just happen, we filled the hole with Murray out of the bush league, and we all need to move forward. It does open a SSP list spot doesn't it?

On a personal note, good luck to Fischer. I can't imagine not wanted to pursue a footy career, giving one up is almost unfathomable, it must be a serious condition.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Best of luck to the kid.

We shouldn't have drafted him. Massive recruitment blunder.

 

[dogs105]

Best of luck to him and his family.

wtf?

 

[crow2crow]

It's what we recruited Madgen for.

He isnt on the list he is only sanfl registered he cannot play AFL

 

[Southerntakeover]

Does he get paid for this year?

 

[George Kramer]

Does he get paid for this year?

I can’t see why he would

 

[Jeffcrowe]

surely ethan phillips to replace fish as some KPD backup?

Would not surprise if we wait until mid season draft

Why not play the guys we already have on the list first
