Fisher is a smart player and has good evasion in traffic, I wanted him pre draft because he is a natural footballer rather than an athlete, I think his skills are ok and having no right foot wont hurt him
as he can work on that for the future. Only negative I see is his size, 175cm and 68kg is a tough ask at senior AFL level especially with the fad of having bigger bodied mids still with us.
Hopefully he can grow a bit and be smart enough to overcome his lack of size as plenty have done before him....SOS was on the money drafting him and I expect him to play plenty of good senior footy in the Navy Blue....reckon he is a natural replacement for Kade Simpson...KS was a smallish winger when he started and found life tough early but the rest is history..
In one of the pre-season training clips, Fisher takes on Casboult. Casboult nailed him but Fisher showed no hesitation in trying to get past the big bloke. If that's his attitude, I don't expect his small stature to hold him back.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog!
And that reminds me of the Chihuahua that killed the Great Dane ... the Great Dane choked trying to swallow the Chihuahua
