Hasn't he played most of his footy as a small forward? We're not exactly flush with quick crumbing forwards.
Mid/hf link up type. Not a crumber or goalsneak
Some of his disposal was ******* shithouse. Needs to be much, much better if he's going to distribute as he's not a defenders a-hole.

Either way, not sure he can stay back - his match up is likely to go the goal square or deepest and likely to be able to out mark him. I like him but the opposition will be all over it.

Didn't he have game high 9 turnovers? Dropped marks too
Had a absolute junk game, you're crazy

^Which is why it was just an ok start and nothing special….
He was ******* putrid and along with Corr was one of the big reasons GWS were scoring at will. Corr couldn't get near it, and Fisher was delivering the pill lace out GWS defenders all day.

Incredible takes from everyone here having a go at his defending - Not why we recruited him, not where is adds value.
It becomes a problem when the structure results in him being the last man, having to defend some gorilla at full back
He can't just not defend if he is a defender? Add to that, our designated rebound defender (who doesn't need to defend) had 7 clangers on the weekend.
Why put the ball in his hands when we have Sheez & Kerch in the backline anyway? I couldn't see a spot for him in the 22 to begin with until he swayed me with his practice match form. I should have stuck with my original thoughts.

He's there for his run, to break the lines which is something we've sorely lacked. But he's too short to play back. He's 175cm - can't think of another small defender in the comp as short as he is. Maybe Richmond's Baker.
He should be given a chance forward which is where he's played 90% of his footy.
For someone who shits on Bailey Scott's disposal any chance you get, you're being remarkably kind about Fisher's game.

fish is usually better by foot
And after the first quarter he was sound
Personally I think it had more to do with the whole team being in sync moving the ball forward than Fishers disposal per se

9. *******. Turnovers. And dropped that horrible sitter in the d50
Bailey Scott DE% for that game was 91% in line with Sheezal

Noticed at the ground, there were several times he kicked off balance. And he turned it over every time.
A case of searching for his left?

He doesn't have half the ceiling of McKercher and Sheezel, I'll tell you that for free. We need to be careful how we use him. He can be a good player but it's a narrow passage of opportunity that, when strayed from, results in the sort of crap he served up on the weekend
And that will happen with a defensive unit still gelling. You’d expect someone like Kal Dawson who has some serious wheels to eventually come in and cut it off or spoil.
Exactly not his job. However, his job is to distribute and run and he was very poor at that. Didn’t show what he did in the practice games. Nervs? Pressure?

He wasn't the only one who didn't show what we saw in the practice games. The whole side was guilty of that.
Yeh its really odd. Just went in their shells and s**t the bed. inferiority complex
