Sam Fisher
We all know that this guy is absolutely fantastic and brings a lot of run from defense but where do you think he should ideally be played? He is just so versatile!
If all things were equal, I for one would love to see him play on a half forward flank. His marking, athleticism and accurate kick would make him an awesome weapon.

I wouldnt be saying that with all due respect to Fish, he is one of the top RUNNING defenders in the comp, but when it comes down to actually defending in a one on one contest, when he is actually on an opponent, to me he seems to get beaten more times than he wins. He is always beaten by the bigger bodied opponents (eg. JB, Hall, Pavlich etc) and doesnt have the versatility of Max to play on a small forward like a Nathan Brown.spert wrote:He is now one of the top defenders in the comp., so should play in defence
Saying this he is defiently in our top 10 players in terms of importance to the structure, but to say he is a top defender is an overstatement.
Scarlett, Rutten, Glass, Fletcher etc are actual defenders. They have an opponent each week!! At the same time Flecther and scarlet do a similar role to Fish with run out of defence.
There is plenty of room for improvement in his game, and im sure he would prob acknowledge that to, and am confident he has the ability to deliver
I like Fish where he is now gives us alot of run and power out of the backline. But I also think we should move Gram or Goddard up the ground some more closer to goal both are good kicks prob more consistent with kicking than our usual forwards in Riewoldt Kosi Milne & Furgeson.
If you can't give the commitment you gave this year and you don't want to improve, you can go because we have unfinished business-Ross Lyon
shows the value of a steady and reliable full back...
If goose is in form it allows us to free up Sam Fisher,
he now has to play more of a key backmen role when he is not the best one on one and we also lose a bit of his dash.
Send Kozi down back, Play Sam on a flank, rooey to a wing drifting forward, send BJ forward.

haha i think i didn't get my point across clearly enough... all i meant to say was that if we could afford to let him out of defense, that there are a lot of possibilities for him. He is, in my estimation, one of the most effective utilities in the league. I am just hoping that i get to see him play forward at some stage of his career, i think he would cane it. I can see him as a better forward than a defender.

Have to agree with superdooper, he would not be playing on key position if we had Goose and Gilbo back, his best position is as running defender, that said if we ever have a full list, I would love to see him get a run around half forward and in the center now and thensuper dooper wrote:I wouldnt be saying that with all due respect to Fish, he is one of the top RUNNING defenders in the comp, but when it comes down to actually defending in a one on one contest, when he is actually on an opponent, to me he seems to get beaten more times than he wins.

We cannot rely on Goose and Gilbert to hold down FB and CHB. One is coming off three years of injuries, and the other is a wingman/flanker.supersaints wrote:Have to agree with superdooper, he would not be playing on key position if we had Goose and Gilbo back, his best position is as running defender, that said if we ever have a full list, I would love to see him get a run around half forward and in the center now and then
