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

[WaynesWorld19]

You're dreaming again, he's shown nothing worthy of another contract since he was drafted.
We only extended him last time in the hope he'd start to show something like he might be an AFL KPD, since then he's shown nothing that that hints at AFL in the near future. Desperation set in when we moved him forward and he's not looked likely there either in a side that's been cominating opposition for most of the year.

Will need to be an amazing turnaround in fortunes for him next year to be offered another contract.

There's not been any misunderstanding by recruitment team ....that McAsey has faults, and is a longer development player .....everything below was a known

IMPROVEMENTS:

Athleticism
Kicking composure


Not much gets past McAsey as he patrols the back 50, he is either under the ball taking a strong contested mark or flying in from the side, timing his jump and taking impressive intercept marks so he doesn’t just rely on his size to out-body his opponents.

He can also judge the ball in flight and intercept brilliantly.

Up forward he hasn’t been able to show what he can do often but he has shown to have a good set shot routine, time his leads well and is a strong mark on the lead. He could certainly play any either end being used not too dissimilarly to how Essendon use Cale Hooker and both are similar players both in size and marking ability.

McAsey has shown good courage in defence going back with the flight and sitting under the ball with oncoming players ready to go through him but with his strong size he holds up well and should continue to do so at AFL level.


McAsey has some areas to improve, mainly his endurance which would need to improve to play regular senior football.

Despite his readymade size, he is not blessed with elite speed or jumping ability like some top 10 talls have been, so he will rely a lot on his smarts and positioning to best utilise his talents at AFL level.

The exception is his agile moment, because on-field he can shrug off tackles with a neat sidestep and get his hands free.

A club that picks McAsey will most likely focus on his running capacity, but also view him as a long-term key position option. Unlike super athletic key position players, McAsey has the smarts to adapt his game at the next level, and it is easier to help develop athletic traits, than it is natural smarts - which McAsey has in spades.

McAsey is usually a good decision maker and quick ball mover in defence but he has come unstuck at times trying to kick across goal or narrowly missing a target.

Although he is technically sound in his kicking action and has a long raking kick when taking shots for goal, the error of his disposal by foot comes in the defensive half when he can adopt a play-on mentality to get the ball moving quickly.

This can be really beneficial for game styles, but can also be costly at times, so building some composure when kicking out of defence will improve his game even further.

Overall though, in terms of his complete profile, there is not too much to fault McAsey on when it comes to his on-field ability.

He is set to be one of the first two key position players taken in the 2019 AFL Draft, and a versatile one with smarts who can play at either end which will no doubt be valuable for a club in the future.

I don't think the club would be re-signing him again after the year he has had,
He's just not competitive enough

Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane.

If only he had the competitiveness of Chelsea Randall.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

The problem is that player has not turned up to play at Adelaide.

Did you actually watch his game yesterday?

He's flat out holding his feet in contests against pint sized SANFL level defenders....and when he does get it delivered lace out his goalkicking is scattergun...

It will be an amazing turnaround if he shapes up as an AFL Forward on what he's shown to date.

Didn't watch yesterday ....so hard to comment ...but I remain confident, based on the 3 games I have seen

One possession in the first half last night shows he doesn't have the desire to work hard enough, especially when playing a team like Centrals.
It's disappointing because we have a real need for a key position back

Not at all. Third year KP player showing signs they have a somewhat useful utility get extended, and currently, McAsey is a 1.3 goal key forward in the SANFL with clear room to get up to 1.8-1.9 goals with some mechanical cleanup after a positional switch, seeing the question was would we extend McAsey this year and we would off his current output.

Next year is a different ball game, and if he's not up to 1.8-1.9 goals per game/showing his game has cleaned up, we probably won't unless we're desperate for cheap KP depth (and the likelihood is we're going to be desperate for cheap KP depth at the end of next year with both Himmelberg and Frampton off our books).

We'll have to remind Carlton that contracted players cost more

Once bitten, twice shy.....they aren't doing a McGovern again.

This Carlton we are talking about
They were the ones that kept telling us contracted players cost more

I'd hope they ain't offering McAsey $4 million.

Disagree .....goes to playing style, talent, and pre-draft known issues .....they don't change after the player is Drafted .....they do show, we knew what we were getting, and the development path required

If opinions are fixed despite receiving substantially more evidence of a more relevant kind the holder is a fool.

Carlton tipped to land Adelaide defender Fischer McAsey: AFL trade news

"They're all over Fischer McAsey. I believed he'll be at the Blues next year."

www.zerohanger.com

"Fischer McAsey, Pick 6 2019 draft, he's played 10 games at Adelaide, can't quite get into the Adelaide side, it's been a mystery," Stevens said.

How to solve the mystery? Watch him play.

Take Carlton's pick 29 and run!

Hopefully it works out for McAsey if he's back in comfortable surroundings. It would've been hard coming here with Covid restrictions, his Dad's health etc. He still has time on his side. He did show some glimpses in that first year.

 

[Crowbling]

If he can’t get into a rebuilding side for 2 years it’s time to cut our losses.

If we can somehow get a second round pick that’s a decent salvage job.

 

[FantasticShirt]

Mcasey and our second for pick 11?

Absolutely no chance.

 

[sutts]

McAsey will be a good player in years to come. I can see him thriving by in a new environment. In ten years time we won't be talking about selecting him too early at pick 6, rather asking why we couldn't get the best out of him.

This pick delayed our rebuild by a year.

Trade for whatever we can get, best of luck to him, and let’s never talk about this again.

A little different to the Melbourne media narrative on Rankine...

I would take a 2nd round pick, otherwise I would prefer to keep him & take our chances.

Carlton can't trade their first rounder this year.

Welp, probably gone
