No I don't agree about that, in my opinion Fisher is already well beyond anything Daniel has or can deliver, Fisher just doesn't get the recognition Daniel gets.
I think you've pre-judged Polson. If you watched VFL regularly there is no way you could be positive about McKay or Macreadie and also negative about Polson. At VFL level Polson has them comfortably covered on so many levels other than dimensions. His work ethic is equal to Graham, and his ball use is probably better, he just doesn't get as much of the football yet.
I suspect as the years pass, players like Weitering will replace Rowe, and that shift in team balance will create opportunity for players like Polson. But it may depend on how our list looks ignoring Fisher, Kennedy looks slow, Cripps is slow, SPS is not fast, Dow is inside, and O'Brien is outside. Not sure how Polson fits if he wants midfield as a role.
I look at their AFL form and what they have shown. The VFL is one kettle of fish, the AFL another. A few have shown not much at VFL level and then gone up a gear at AFL level.
Rather than arguing about Fisher or Daniel, its not the point. Irrespective of how we rate players, my list shows that Polson is currently one who is the only real question mark about being an AFL capable competitor which is why he is the only one that worries me. Macreadie could turn out to be a bust, but his AFL form last year was solid enough to show that we have our key position players sorted for a few years.
