Traded 25. Zac Fisher

[angry_madge]

I'm at the ground listening to the SEN broadcast and there's been a few side comments about Fisher being offered a 5 year contract. Did I misheard? Is it us? Another club?

North Melbourne.

North Melbourne.

Interesting. I wonder where North would play him.

With two years to run on his contract, but fringe best 22, what is he worth in a trade? It might come down to how badly we want that cap space back.

Thank you Zac

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Thanks for all your efforts slippery Fish.

 

[AlecDuncan]

So we turned a 1st round pick and 2nd round player into two 2nd round picks. We’ve done North a favour.

Does Nick have a few smokies on his radar?

No, we slid our 1st back for a later 1st, and got a 2nd for Fish.

Will play a fair bit of footy with North.

So long and thanks for all, Fish.
So sad that it should come to this.

Beat me to it...

Good deal for us.

 

[Stamos]

Good deal for us.

I'm a bit disappointed.
Don't think we should have had to slide #17

 

[bigblueboy]

Remember Fish’ first game. Still amazed his body hasn’t snapped.

 

[ferrisb]

Sad to see him go, but there's plenty more Fish in the sea...

Clarko loves his lefties on the outside. Fisher and Stephens correct his “balance”.

Just not sure where they play him, will be an interesting watch

It will be touch and go as to whether it will make a difference in who we target. I think this draft is fairly even around that mark.

Absolutely, Clarkson will develop him nicely, will do well at North, wish Zack all the best in future endeavors at the Roos.

 

[Bluechip66]

Why did we give anything for him?

 

[Coona Blues]

Reckon he may get the plum Sheezel role from last season, or Aaron Hall seagull. His to lose. Hasn’t got the wheels or intent for a wing(Stephens) With Curtis, Zurhaar and possibly Sheezel and Brayden George forward, not seeing Fish in that discussion..

Edit Fantasy football lock.

Replaces Aaron Hall as a backline distributor? Similar to Fish's last month at Carlton?

Then move Sheezel into midfield/HFF?

Edit: Damn you Coona!

 

[Foucault1989]

Going to miss Fish. Was always one of my favorites. Unfortunately just didn't take that next step but who knows, could elevate at North....

 

[BIuebagger]

Thanks for the memories, Fish. Will play some solid footy for North and will be in their 23 every week next year.
I think 17 has gone only coz Austin sees the bigger picture. There’s more to play out.
Go well, Fish.

Wishing Zac all the best at Norf.

Good trade, good system for him, good luck!

Interested to see whether they try to make him the next Sam Mitchell or if he's going to be defensive relief to send Sheezel and others elsewhere.

This is proof the points system is nonsense. Just look at the trade the Dees just did for pick 11 to see how far away 21+25 is from being worth pick 8.

Points system is a basic guideline based on historical evidence, it does not define an individual draft class. Recruiters would have their top 15 or so locked in at this point, bare minimum.
