Brad Fisher Stays With Carlton
While the Carlton president was making plenty of statements about the coach and the board a small piece of information went nearly unnoticed. Brad Fisher has agreed to a new contract, according to Carlton.
Carlton announced both Fisher and Betts would be back. That Carlton came to agreement with Fisher before Thornton is interesting and it could be a sign that other teams are close to getting Thornton.
While Hawthorn has been the club with the most interest, there is also talk of Richmond and possibly Essendon looking at the Carlton fullback.
Fisher is a solid player, in his game but not with his body, but it is hard to see where he plays for Carlton next season. There is already plenty of height up forward with Fevola, Waite, Kennedy and possibly Whitnall.
Towards the end of 2006 he was played a bit in defense. Another idea could be on a wing. At 192cm he would be a taller option at that spot.
Fisher has had several injuries over his career so he is a bit injury-prone, but he can take a mark and has some other useful skills. That Carlton signed him is a small step forward but they also have to find a defined role for him or next year his name will be in trade rumours again.
