Traded 25. Zac Fisher

[Old navy]

Starting really come around to this pick.
One thing that is really noticeable in his highlight is he doesn't fumble, he is very clean with pick ups and disposal by hand.
Seems like he is a prolific type midfielder and has a bit of turbo about him.

Welcome.. give him Guernsey no. 14?

SOS has spent some time out west.. loving himself some WA boys with the first 2 selections.

Hi guys, I've had a little bit to do with zac, and you won't be dissapointed - he was told quite a while ago that carlton were likely to take him with their 2nd pick (SOS trip a double up!) . He didn't actually know who sos was originally so goes to show the gen yness. Guys he's a hard little campaigner that will give you everything, don't let his size fool you (250g of protons/day fix it up anyway) he is as hard as nails, playing against grown ass men for most of the year -and growing up playing ammos in mortlock shield doesn't hurt. wish we had have taken him. best of luck zac.

Looks like a mini Jack Silvagni! Reckon he runs like Buckley. Caleb Daniel made a mockery of those who said he was too short - racked up the possessions and hardly missed a target - Fisher might "surprise" as well!

Good that we have quite a few WA boys - Cripps, White, Armfield (Zac's cousin), Boekhorst and now Pickett and SPS. Having a core group away from home means players are just that little less isolated.

Ok, ive seen his highlights, so I am now an expert....

He reads the tap well
He has speed
He looks crafty around goals
He has an unusual chip kicking action, but it looks deliberate and a crafty way to kick to teammates' advantage

Kicks like Boekhorst and in many ways seems to play the same. We haven't seen BB have a good run at it yet - hope he can show a bit this year.

 

[Blues90]

Quick inside outside player DEADLY accurate left peg tick

 

[Gingerbread man]

Great get and good luck to the young man. But gee 61kegs I think I was 12 the last time I weighed that much

 

[MitchRobinson12]

SPS is great but I'm most excited about this guy for some reason.

 

[Cripps4Life]

A good get for the Blues.

Despite height + size can play next year.

KM is he likened to Caleb Daniel??

Except he's willing to do the tough stuff...

 

[Deep Blue]

He's a mid.

Can play inside or outside to a high standard now.

Has a very advanced game - which so often is the case with smalls.

Yeah, this kid doesn't need a big-body - looks like he could do what Darcy Parish did this year.

 

[Deep Blue]

Except he's willing to do the tough stuff...

Yeah, I reckon that's right.

He's going to be our very own Antman!

 

[Toddski]

Absolutely over the moon with this pick. so heartening to finally be confident in our recruiters.

Zac Fisher is a prolific gun. Him and SPS will make some combination.

SOS you beauty!

 

[First Poster]

I like that we seem to be rating football ability above athletic ability. This guy is a footballer!

 

[Knightmare]

There is some Caleb Daniel to him.

I compared him to Lachie Neale as he plays more inside. But he could easily become more an outside type like Daniel and slip into a senior team seamlessly and contribute strongly from the get go.

Yeah just watching a bit of the highlights and he did strike me a bit Boekhorst like. Though hopefully in 3 years he's killing it.

 

[shtewgs]

I see so much Wingard in Fisher. Different positions, Wingard is far superior above head and as a forward. But the way they run, kick evade and generally move.. to me the resemblance is uncanny.

I wasn't right across Fisher before the draft but have spent some time analyzing since and I am over the moon!

We're trying to make him nuclear fissionable?? I take it back, he's obviously more explosive than I thought.

Daniel has a lot more pace and his foot skills are about as elite as they get. Was stunned at the time at how lowly he was rated because of his size despite dominating the Champs with every touch.

Fisher ticks the ball over and has elite vision, but I don't think his technique and skill is quite at the level of Daniel. Whether he has enough about him to inject something to the side at AFL level I guess we'll see.

Great get and good luck to the young man. But gee 61kegs I think I was 12 the last time I weighed that much

This is the thing that worries me most about him: can he put the weight on? Guess we're going to find out.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Really good and intelligent player is Fisher.

Looked well at home at WAFL League level and was often up near Perth's best. His size doesn't hold him back.

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

just waiting for twins parody with this kid and cripps. i'd do it myself if i could photoshop

 

[TheCoach16]

I don't know anything about you Zac, other than you are now part of the Carlton family. That's good enough for me....

Welcome young man, go get'em!

 

[Blue By Blood]

Brett Anderson's phantom draft (which used readings from the draft combine) had Fisher listed as 70kg so he's bulked up a bit since that 61kg reading. I'm sure he will continue to bulk up in a professional environment. Plus if he can link up on the outside and use that smooth kick and pace of his, weight shouldn't be a huge issue provided he gets it to a decent level. I like that he has been playing against men already and holding his own and he definitely has a lot of attributes that will hold him in good stead.
