Fischer McAsey

[B.M]

From Adelaide

Any interest?

197cm CHB from Sandy Dragons

First round draft pick #6 in 2019 draft

Not getting a game at the moment, maybe he wants out?

[Devilhead]

He signed a 2 year contract extension back in April

[happy feet]

No interest whatsoever.

[kosifantutti]

Bring him home. His dad played for us.

[B.M]

Why not, do we need another tall defender to take pressure off Dougal Howard and allow Wilkie to be a #3

Or are we happy with the 191cm Wilkie being a 2

And Highmore being the 3

Pure speculation, he has signed for another 2 years. They have probably looked at him and passed.

[Devilhead]

We definitely need another 197cm+ defender to replace Carlisle

Doubtful its McAsey though given he has signed an extension

[B.M]

Of course it’s speculation

That’s what we do when discussing list management

[happy feet]

Might be best left to the end of the year when we are approaching trade period.

[B.M]

Do you reckon that’s when list managers start thinking about the list.

Or are you just being obtuse?

[B.M]

What do you reckon? Honest answer??

I think you know that I’m just like you - a fan

Of course, you are just being antagonist

Pot and kettle syndrome developing here.

I can't tell if the post went to s*** when you realised he has a 2 year contract or when you compared the urgency of continuing this thread, with when list managers start considering the list.
If I'm an antagonist, you are a victim of your own ego. That's if I'm being honest.

[CQ SAINT]

That is unless you want us to over pay for a kid who drafted high and isn't getting a run after signing on for 2 more years.

[saintsRrising]

Bring him home. His dad played for us.

Did his Grandfather play with us?

We have had much better performing Grandsons than Sons.

Contracts can mean FA

If players want out, and wants to go to another club

They generally get there

There have only been a few circumstances (Papley) where a player has been forced to stay and honour their contract. Most of the time a trade is facilitated.

Hypothetically
Would you trade
23yo 192cm Highmore
For
19yo 197cm McAsey

What about Dunstan?? Would you consider losing a mid to gain a key defender??

No and no.

Are you McAsey’s agent?

[BackFromUSA]

Dunstan can simply walk. Unrestricted free agent. If he wants to leave we need a biddin war between a few clubs for his services. The higher his deal, the better the draft pick we would get but with no second rounder, the AFL may be tempted to give us a second third rounder for him. But that might be enough for McAsey.

I wouldnt think we need him. We now have Highmore who is playing really well, plus Clavarino & Joyce have developed their games this year.

Then there is Allison who is currently playing in defence, but is a long term developing kpp.

[B.M]

Yes

I’m McAseys agent

[Devilhead]

McAsey has pretty much shown nada in the SANFL .... cant even break into a poor Crows side

[B.M]

My thought is that we have an outstanding mid size 3rd defender, and that is Wilkie

Highmore 192 is either a 3rd or a 4th

We have a future 4th defender in the 190cm in Coffield
Who we seriously hope goes past Highmore
Better by foot

When we play teams like Geelong
Who plays on a
197cm 108kg Hawkins
And
197cm 96kg Cameron

All three of Wilkie/Highmore/Coffield are well suited to forwards between 188-193cm mid size
Wilkie probably the best suited to playing taller

Highmore atm is probably ahead of Coffield
But it’s not long ago that Coffield finished 5th in the B&F in a side that won a final!

Looking to improve the list

I think we need another KEY BACK and another Ruck/Forward

Highmore looks very promising and may well turn into a very good defender, and seems like a ripper fellow!
But perspective
McAsey is only turning 20
At that age Highmore was undrafted from the Giants academy and playing in the NEAFL

I don’t know?

It’s probably a poor call, but to take the list from 6-12 to 1-4

Id be doing EVERYTHING I could to bring in Ben King and a CHB

Our defence is one of the better in the comp and whilst it would be handy to have a backaman that can stand the monster forwards I think we have a much greater and immediate need for another key tall forward, a forward/ruckman ideally.

I'd be looking for said key backman at the 2022 trade period and hope that one of Frawley or Carlisle can go around again.

[asiu]

hmmm

i've been operating from the understanding
that the Ben bit is organised

(no proof , just whispers via another afl mob that are not GC or the Saints)
[from earlier this year]

be extra good if we could organise other bits that we need
... but then , how far does fuckall stretch
i suppose becomes the question
