Traded Zac Fisher [traded with #17 to North for #21 and #25]

[bradfisher14]

Looks like he's on the outer at Carlton despite having two years to run on his deal. Clearly has some talent but probably needs a move to revitalise his career. Rumours floating that WA and Victorian clubs are interested in getting him. Don't think we will ask for too much in a trade. Intrigued to see where he ends up and what position he plays for his new club.

Rumors in W.A are that we are out of the running and he is staying in Victoria

No idea where but my gut tells me he would be ideal for Western Bulldogs

They were interested a couple of years ago. Currently got pick 34, that would be a good starting point for a deal.

From Carlton’s end perhaps. No club would cough that up for Fisher now.

That’s why I said starting point, there would be something coming back their way.

SPS went for a late pick. I’d be surprised if the Fisher deal went any differently.

Very different players and situations. Don’t let your bias cloud your judgement.

pick 53, on traded to WB for Young, who didn't use the pick


worth more than SPS but not a lot more

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

If Cuningham and Martin stay fit until the end of the season then I think we would just want him off the list for cap space.

What bias?

Fisher is two years older and playing VFL. If you get a usable pick then you're laughing.

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

Wouldn’t be surprised if St.Kilda are interested solely based on the fact that we know SOS loves bringing in players he’s drafted at a previous club lol

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

At the end of last year I would’ve been disappointed to trade him for anything outside the first round. Now we’d be lucky to get a pick within 40 for him.

He is a good player who will have plenty of interest on the cheap. I’d prefer we keep him. Martin and Cuningham are better players but are too injury prone to rely on right now.

No chance.

 

[Tjblues]

He’s worth less to us every week and definitely needs a fresh start. If we get more than a pick in the 50s I’ll be staggered

 

[marcmurphy3]

Contracted for 2 years. Better to retain then trading for nothing so we'll get something useable for him. Nothing better then a 3rd rounder though.

He's been a first team player for the best part of 5 years. Played 4 games total in the vfl this year. Don't get the logic that that suddenly makes him worthless.

Big issue is he seems to want to play midfield. Not sure many clubs would have him getting big minutes in their midfield.

Pick in the mid 40s is about my guess.

I wouldn't pay more

Not quite right there.
We told his manager we are not interested and look for other avenues

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

If we don’t get overs I think we’ll hang on to him. Cuningham and Martin are both much better but very injury prone and we do need cover.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I quite like the kid. Seems like he could hold down a spot as decent role player in a lot of teams. Don't think Carlton gets anything for him though

You're not getting a 2nd rounder for a 25 year old small forward who's played 8 games and kicked 3 goals this year be lucky to get anything in the 50's

Depends how much coin he is on and where that can be better spent

He is not really a small forward despite his size. He is a high half forward link player who can go through the middle next to a few bigger bodies.

Last year he averaged 19 disposals and almost a goal a game (1.5 shots a game), and was rated as one of the best kicks inside 50 in the competition, playing the above role.

It’s a shame we will most likely sell him at his lowest and I agree a 2nd is unlikely now. He is AFL quality and just needs to be utilised correctly. Low on confidence and going through niggles hasn’t helped.

Reckon some club gets a bargain here. Doubt he is on massive coin.

Don't think he will be on massive coin but it'd be around the 300k mark you'd think and that in your case could be spent elsewhere to improve your team

I wanted him at Geelong before he signed last year, think he needs to be in a good side to show his worth.
