Universal Love 2016 Draft Discussion

[Anzac16]

Very surprised Josh Battle hasn't been taken yet. Him or Kerr with our next pick would be very good.

 

[Blubagger71]

Bugger, Drew gone too.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Saints go Long.

So Long.

Nah, that's Fisher........Z.

Our boy.

To the Countdown Youtubery.

Not a real midget fan honestly.

Did you notice who liked your post?

 

[Blubagger71]

Battle..

 

[smashbox gill]

Love the fisher pick! Small but hard at it, and has some toughness and skill.

Drew gone. Mutch with our 3rd!

 

[BobP]

I reckon we'll love Zac - has cult favourite written all over him. Great zip and energy around the packs. Small, but if they're good enough, as they say... they're good enough. Happy with this.

Has that distinctive running style to.

Knightmare had Fisher at 19:

19. Zac Fisher (WA)

Best position: Inside midfield/outside midfield

Height, weight: 175cm, 61kg

Recruited from: Perth

Plays like: Lachie Neale

Projected draft range: second to third round 

Rated last month: 19

Rationale behind ranking/change of ranking: Numbers and quality of performances during the AFL Under-18 Championships and at WAFL League very advanced.

Strengths:

- Production

- Stoppage work

- Wins first possession at stoppages

- Contested-ball winning 

- Tackling

- Clean hands

- Precise footskills

- Vision

- Decision-making

- Acceleration and burst away from stoppages

- Agility

- Evasiveness

-Performances vs. WAFL League competition

Weaknesses:

- Size by position

- Unclear versatility

Decent highlight reel. Goes hard at it for a small bloke. Good disposal too.

The Lachie Neale comparison looks spot on.

Wow big reach from the Cats for Parrfit.
Not sure how I feel about Fisher, first feeling is we've reached a bit.

Parfitt slid in a lot of people's minds this year; the talent is there.

Hahahahahaha!

If you weren't already aware, I think you're about to discover the sun doesn't shine out of the WAFL's arse

My family friend in Sam McClarty picked by Collingwood at 30. So happy for him that he gets to stay in VIC.

 

[The Smoking Gun]

Zac Fisher is 61kgs? ummm

Played WAFL seniors all year as an 18 year old. Averaged 21.5 possessions with nearly half of them contested.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Nah, that's Fisher........Z.

You could have told me, not waited for so long.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Exact type of game and barely 5ft 8.

We are going very flashy with icing on the cake type players IMO in this draft and our cake is still on the bench right now.

He's a clearance player.

Lucas was an outside runner. Different types IMO.

SPS is a great contested player. Not seeing it tbh

 

[Jimmae]

FFS I just knew Port would bone any hope we had of picking an proper mid. North didn't even get a chance.

 

[Malifice]

Played WAFL seniors all year as an 18 year old. Averaged 21.5 possessions with nearly half of them contested.

Looks bigger than 61 Kgs.

If his highlights were anything to go by, he can play. Next year even.

Dudes my height and and around 10 kilos lighter though and I'm a rake.

 

[passmark]

How anyone can watch his highlights and see Kane Lucas is beyond me.

Not much of him but I don't think courage is in question.

 

[El Topo]

Nice haul for Port.

 

[HBF]

Amazing how many good players are still there.

 

[Soapy V]

2 WA boys. Move them in with Cripps. He can tell them how good it is in Melbourne.

 

[KohPhi]

Wonder if we will take Kerbatieh or Jarman with a later pick..

 

[The Smoking Gun]

Some interesting talls still available.

 

[Mondyboy]

2 WA boys. Move them in with Cripps. He can tell them how good it is in Melbourne.

Cripps will have plenty of time on his hands, so yes.

watch his highlights and see how well he combines with SPS

 

[BlueShift]

Too early for pessimism over the Zac Fisher selection. If we are going to make these comparisons, it is just as likely he turns out to be Caleb Daniel mk. II instead.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Despite question marks on agility, I'd take Josh Battle. Was ranked top 10 last year and I wanted him. We need forwards putting pressure on in the seniors and VFL.
