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

[blueboy25]

Its a salary dump.

Blues have a reason to move Fisher on.

Wouldn't have thought so.

Plowman's wouldn't have been on peanuts and will end up with 6-7 players off the books this offseason. Plus McGovern on reduced money and Jack Martin's contract was heavily front loaded.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Agree it's not a salary dump, we just have no spot for him sadly.

I reckon he'll play 22 games for North off half back next year and free up Sheezel to hit the goals.

 

[Sinjin Smith]

Don't know North's draft hand, but I would expect an early second straight up to be a fair price.

He came in as an early second, has heaps of experience, clearly has talent, and plenty of time on his contract.

Will be interesting to see whatever the deal actually ends up being gets turned into.

We're not getting a an early second rounder for Fisher. At most it will be early 40's.

For what it's worth, Twomey and Beveridge on Gettable yesterday both thought North's F2 was right.

Hey I'd love that, just not confident we will get that sort of currency. Fisher has talent he just hasn't consistently shown it, it's been frustrating seeing these flashes and then nothing for the rest of a game. Whether that's down to game time, continuity, lack of confidence etc who knows??

North are right to have a look as he may thrive if given more chances but with their assistance package I highly doubt players the calibre of Fisher are what the AFL had in mind if they are encouraging North to trade them (though you said future 2nd).

I just don't think Carlton will kick up a fuss if North offer him a solid deal with more playing time.

Nah. We are happy to keep him but equally know that he's not guaranteed a game every week so will leave it up to him.

Don't let the media narrative sway you. Cook has our salary cap in check.

 

[Sphynx]

Completed his medical today according to Twomey.

Pick 39

 

[Rich01]

Norths end of round first for Fisher and a future third would probably be about right.

 

[bird_man]

Wouldn't have thought so.

Plowman's wouldn't have been on peanuts and will end up with 6-7 players off the books this offseason. Plus McGovern on reduced money and Jack Martin's contract was heavily front loaded.

Every side ends up with 6 or 7 players off the books most years.

You've still got to replace them. It's no secret Carltons cap is tight.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Norths end of round first for Fisher and a future third would probably be about right.

Yep. 4+1 year deal and millions of dollars to poach contracted AFL quality.

 

[perplexed]

F3+F4 - points for matching bids on the twins next year.

 

[archiemoses]

Polec 2.0

 

[The Nostradamus]

We’ve got him on the average wage of an afl player

So whilst the contract is long it isn’t on big money

 

[bird_man]

He's not even worth close to it, but North have to move those future firsts on rather than risk losing them next year.

Carlton may be the beneficiary of the compo picks

 

[Mister Carlton]

Huge get for Clarkson. Guaranteed to play two good games per season.

 

[Sphynx]

Lol, I don’t think so

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Here’s hoping he can fulfil his potential at North, always loved him at full flight and thought he could go on to become a point of difference.

Early first round, top 10 probably.

Kidding, we’ll be looking at a late 2nd or something of that value. Even pick 40ish. Why would North pay big in draft capital for someone who isn’t getting much game time?

Hope he goes well at North.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Pick 40 or future 3rd.

That must be a secret because word is our cap is fine...

 

[bird_man]

Lol, I don’t think so

What are you going to spend them on then?

Can't risk losing them entirely next year.

Pick 10

Tight might be fine

But it's still tight. Not going to be able to bring anyone in without letting some go I'd imagine.
