Only change I would make is Cuningham in for Fisher. Of the two, I think Cuningham will have a bigger impact on games.

Even getting a spot in the JLT series will be tough.
I think the Club rates Fisher ahead of Cuningham, but may the best man win!

Fisher easily IMO...Cuningham is a cameo player who has talent but Fisher will be a meat and potatoes midfielder who
will be Simpson like in reliability IMO. I wanted Fisher pre-draft due to his excellent carnival series and he hasnt disappointed.
Cuningham has the tools to be a player and will be one of those players that doesnt impress in the seconds but will lift when he plays seniors IMO.
The main difference is consistency in effort...Fisher gives you a contest and repeat efforts, Cuningham can too but does it only when he feels like it....
Re: Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game - Rational_Expectations - 01-19-2018
Fair enough. My concern is that for all of Fisher's effort and tenacity - which he undoubtedly has in spades - he won't hurt the opposition enough. Hope I'm wrong of course.

We'll be laying naked on fresh tiger skins in front of an open fire drinking cabernet Carlton come the end of round one!

My concern for the conservation of Panthera tigris prevents me from fully endorsing your scenario LP. Perhaps you could insert "faux" or "synthetic" between "fresh" and "tiger"?

Now wouldn't that be something.

Cannot believe the level of wagon jumping going on in the media, you'd think we were flag favourites! I know this happens for many clubs, but it hasn't been part of our media landscape for so long it's hard to remember another case!
At the moment I've been unable to ID the sources, so;
If this is our clubs doing, a new look media department, then kudos to the club as they are light years ahead of where they were in the past!
If it's the sycophants at News Ltd and Fairfax, trying to beat up a story before an expected fall, then fork off the lot of you! In the nicest possible way!
