He was very reliable with his set shots. Seems to have regressed a little with goal kicking this year. Something for him to work on but other than that his pressure and tackling is super good.

Only anecdotal, but I feel like his shots have been from further out this year. Inside 40 he's very sound on the set shot, but this year I feel like most of his set shots are from ~45. Not his range at all.
I don't think he even had that distance covered a year or 2 ago so the fact he's at least getting it over the line is progression for him and maybe he'll start being as accurate as when he's closer, but until then if he's outside 40 someone should be sneaking past for a handpass.

Game Day
Can't recall being this pumped for a long time

Yeah he's been averaging less marks this year. And as you mentioned when he is marking them this year, he is further out from goal compared to where he was marking the ball last year:
I remember early on in his career Fisher was compared to Sam Mitchell. Tbh i thought it was a bit silly at the time, this nippy small running midfielder like Mitchell, the slow yet elitely skilled inside mid? yeah, right.
However when Fisher gets the ball around the 60 he is starting to make me think of Mitchell. His vision and ability to pick out 20-30m passes on angles that others don't consider. He always seems to find a crease of space where there doesn't seem to be any and finds a target in very congested areas when others would kick long. That's all very Mitchell-esque in that area of the field. It's a specific similarity but the smarts, vision and skill to execute are great.

He has used his right a few times this year but will never be like Mitchell in that regard.
His last couple of weeks though have been brilliant.
LOVE the Little Fish
He makes up for that by being extra slippery and buying the extra second to get onto his left.
But absolutely, if he was as 2 footed as Mitch it'd be fantastic. Alas he's more Kade than Sam in that regard.

100% He in z purple patch of good form and I really hope it continues because he has all the traits to be a damaging weapon for us.
For those who still aren’t convinced by Fish (from afl.com.au article):
Fisher's role is slightly different. Seen as the high half-forward that links the play from midfield, his impact is determined in other ways. But, for his role, he is undoubtedly one of the best in the competition.
This season, the diminutive West Australian is rated elite in his position for disposals (18.4 per game), uncontested possessions (13.9 per game), kick rating (+12.3 per cent) and shot at goal accuracy (69.2 per cent).
As one of the side's main distributors inside 50, his kick rating and accuracy are particularly important. According to Champion Data, Fisher also rates above average for AFL Player Ratings (10.2) and score involvements (5.4 per game).

People are late to the party with Fisher, will continue to improve

Fish needs to turn up tonight.
If he wants to be rated as a good (or better) player competition wide, these are the games where you make your mark - or not!

Gotta love a good Mortadella sanga mate well done on the food selection, and hope the little one gets better quick.

Huge game tonight, biggest test for the year. Hope we're not too short up back. Go baggers.
I reckon he would rather be rated by his coach and team mates, and he gets picked every week. Enough said.
Think it's about the collective, not just one player. But, unlike some others, has turned up more consistently this year

And I got jumped all over for having "unrealistic expectations" when I suggested that ~20 disposals a game and 25-30 goals for the year would be the benchmark for Fisher cementing his spot in the side over some of the younger guys.

Getting his 15/20 a week & he’s kicking multiple goals.
Flown under the radar this year, opposition sides had better pay him respect…..
If we show up with the same 'get the job done, f*** the opposition and narrative' from the first bounce, then we're in with a decent chance TODAY (forgot the day - GAME DAY!)
Huge game in the context of our season and the AFL Top 4.
Pumped.
