He's a KPD not a 3rd tall.I wonder how many of us in this thread will come back and say how we shouldn't overpay for him ala Lever at the end of next season.

Played one or maybe 2 good games. I'm not offering a contract just yet, but I'll hold my judgementYup. Earned a spot here in 2021 though.
He may well not make it and you may be right that, in hindsight, we wasted pick 6 on him. But how on earth can you state with any certainty that he won’t be good. As folks have pointed out previously, Weitering (a number 1 pick) looked utterly out of his depth for a couple of years. But he is now playing great football and likely to earn his first AA this year. Half of this board had Himmelberg dropped and never to be played again only 2-3 weeks ago and he is now our number 1 forward prospect - which doesn’t take much admittedly, but still...
The kids played a handful of games in a truly substandard team. It’s a baptism of fire. Cut him some god damn slack.

The choice seems to be between him and Frampton. He's clearly the front runner at this point.Played one or maybe 2 good games. I'm not offering a contract just yet, but I'll hold my judgement
He’s actually had 4 good games dating back to the Essendon game. People just don’t see a lot that he does, basically unless he’s taking pack marks.Any contract would be at base pay, but I'm happy to with the last two games.
After all he's shown some contested marking ability.
He probably played the best game from one of our tall forwards all year.Played one or maybe 2 good games. I'm not offering a contract just yet, but I'll hold my judgement

Similar stats to Pav at the same time...lucky we didn't draft him.Look, we drafted another Ken McGregor with pick 6 in the National draft. Are we happy with that?
Very similar to Tex's game v Essendon, and then you have the one where he kicked 3 v the saints, but you're right, it's a low bar at the moment for our forwards.He probably played the best game from one of our tall forwards all year.
Doesn't have to be a big contract

Exactly. People miss this but he runs his guts out for a youngster and gets to a lot of contests. Rarely lets himself get stuck behind the contest either, will always try and force himself to the front, unlike some of our other more senior forwards.He’s actually had 4 good games dating back to the Essendon game.

He’s flat footed ala Ken MCGreggorIs it the speed or not quite reading the play then? Just feel like the guys he's against get quite a lot of space on him. Cameron seemed to be a few steps ahead of him multiple times, it wasn't exactly the strength that beat him, he just wasn't able to be at the contest as such.
The strength that comes may help with this though as perhaps it gives him time to body his opponent more before they can get the free run.
You will be hoping for Fisher to get a yard of pace like you were with Ken for your whole lives. Which is fine, but not with a pick six. That's the point.
The annoying thing is that we barely ever get kids in early and if we do we sneak them in on a HFF, well out of the thick of the action.Let's give the kid 20 games before we judge him. Bit hard coming into a team playing like we are.
Top comment. We need to get 50 games into all our kids .This thread is a laugh.
Rebuild 101. You draft the talls first. McAsey is a lock for as long as we can make him stay at the club. Anyone expecting a 19 year old to tear it up after his first preseason is delusional. To paraphrase Phil Walsh, we need to get 50 games into him ASAP. I think he'll be the best KPD the club has ever had.
