Where do you think this can come from?


Fisher is a good player.He might be struggling a bit this year possibly because of his injury but i have faith in him,that after a good pre season next year he will get back to his best.Some players have a weaker season then previous due too many things but he still rather young,not in his late 20 and it hasn't been several years like over 2 years.


Fisher is not kicking as many goals this year cause he is leading up to the wing providing a target when coming out of defence.
Still think he's handy and can bob up as a third tall and maybe if he can start bobbing up and kicking his 2 goals a game it would be a great contribution.

Yeah we definetely need a medium sized forward, one who can take a mark and is good on the ground. Im thinking Pfeiffer could maybe fill that role...but i dont know if he has the skill to be in the class of S Johnson, Didak, Medhurst etc but who knows if we develop him into one that snap from the boundary to beat Fremantle was freakish.

Very true JT.
Fish and Eddie are alternating a lead up role at the moment because the team requires it. It doesnt really suit Fish' game but being a team player, he'll continue to do his best.
The thing I like about Fisher is he sacrifices his own game for the benefit of the side. He rarely takes his opponent to the contest if Fev is one out (too bad Fev cant learn that).
Once we get someone to play as the high half forward, Fish can settle back to the floating 3rd tall role that he does so well.
