Traded Zac Fisher [traded with #17 to North for #21 and #25]

[CrazyJoeFevola]

Reckon he played really well, second quarter apart but Boyd is a better defender and saints didn't really make Zac accountable.

Credit to him, I'd written him off.

No doubt Boyd is a much better defender and he is possibly the best kick we have over a long distance, to my mind he comes straight back in.

But what Fish did today was a point of difference and his ability to twist and turn and deliver incisive little kicks to open up the play repeatedly was really impressive.

Perhaps unluckily for him, I think the resurgence has been built on the rock solid platform our backline has provided and the selection panel might see having him there as a bit of a luxury. Regardless I think today showed he’s got plenty to offer.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Probably got brownlow votes today.

If you want him get your 1st round draft picks ready.

 

[RAPPA]

Had a great game but he's out the door to WA. No doubt.

 

[Astro35]

What teams after him? Freo?

Eagles have pick 1.. so probably them

 

[bradfisher14]

If he continues in this form, I'd rather keep him.

 

[bluebaggerjuls]

If he continues in this form, I'd rather keep him.

yep. given hes contracted as well there would be no need to trade him. assuming hes not on a lot of coin.

 

[Obeanie1]

Would be handy for the Hawks

Handy Brockman replacement if that happens.

Hawks also have Butler who seems to be showing glimpses.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

I’d been wanting us to try him off half-back for ages but alas we never did. I think that’s the way to play him. Allow his slicing and somewhat unpredictable run off half-back (he breaks through lines quite well by changing angles) to impact games and also give him bursts through the midfield.

Everyone's sleeping on you my friend.

 

[Vindicater]

Like alot of the Carlton boys has found a spot. Had him gone for all money this offseason but now I think he stays.

Still not best 22 imo, he'd be best off going elsewhere we he's guaranteed games and a good role.

Happy he's had a few good games on return though, the talk that he wasn't AFL standard was downplaying his many good years as a decent role player for us up forward. We just have other needs for our list imo so the $$ he's on would be better spent elsewhere.

Played ok, HBF is a spot with fair depth though and while he's good with the ball, still doesn't tackle or spoil well.

If we get a reasonable pick, we will trade him, if only to get some salary cap relief.

 

[Waterhouzin]

If the Dockers do lose Liam Henry then he could be a ready made, ( hopefully cheaper) replacement. Seem to be very similar style players from my limited view of Carlton games

I think Fish stays now, unless someone offers both him and the club well overs. Doesn't want to move back West apparently so WCE are SOOL.

I know North have offered Dylan Stephens

and Ralphsmith deals to come across, but we’ve also inquired about Zac. A bit to play out, especially given his recent form.

North always signing the big names. Zac's under contract so we won't be letting him go for nothing.

Still reckon he's gone fwiw.

 

[Warhorse]

I would actually like him at Geelong. We lack run out of the backline and he is good at working the angles to cut through a zone.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Eagles have pick 1.. so probably them

We have publicly stated have no interest, thank god.

 

[Worm4]

Would probably be captain at West Coast, such is the state of your list.

 

[BigFrizz36]

We have publicly stated have no interest, thank god.

So the bloke has played two games at half back ever. Has shown a fair bit with 32 & 24 touches against good teams. Is a beautiful kick and can slice through zones. Might be interesting to see what he can do in his new spot.

Person who supports West Coast is delighted that his team has no interest as it would seem that he is comfortable not to upgrade their list.

Personally I'd be more than happy to keep Fish for the last year of his contract but we have a lot of good half backs (Newman, Saad, Doc, Boyd, Cincotta) with Williams to come back next year and Cowan looks like he'll be a ripper learning his craft in the twos. So if he gets a better opportunity elsewhere you wish him the best and help facilitate a move.

Seems like a really low risk cheap pick up that could pay dividends. Except for the Eagles of course because they are going so well that Royal Eagle can thank God that his team has no interest.

Would look good running alongside Petrovski-Seton.. especially if your objective is to get Pick #1 again.

He is not what WCE need at all, our focus will be to draft new talent in.
Not trade away draft pick for a player that doesn't fit list profile need.
If he was Tyler Brockman then yes he would fit a list need

Apparently Fisher wants to stay in Melbourne if he leaves Carlton according to an ITK on our board.
