I just don't think Zac has enough size to consistently play as a midfielder - not just height, but also physical power.
I think Honey and Durdin are natural small forwards and need the time in those positions to develop. I like Fisher and think he is a good footballer but I wonder in the modern game which requires mids with speed and power in the main, other than the wing where can you play him.
I would suggest that he and Jack Martin should be looking to wax the role of high half-forward with the odd stint in the middle.
And if I were Zac, I would spend some of my summer hours at Melbourne Storm and learn how to tackle consistently.

The other issue I have with him as a forward is his lack of marking ability. Most of the good small forwards can take a decent mark and have that as a weapon or have that express pace.

In think he is trouble with Honey and Durdin now in the frame for selection too and view them as more natural forwards.
Martin is a talent but needs to contribute more than he does...

Remember Murphys game winning goal against Freo? Have a look at how he got that ball.
Not many others would've thought to do that, nor been able to execute.
Its little touches like that which made Eddie so good.
Fisher gets overlooked for that kind of creativity because it doesn't show up on the stats sheet and its hard to see from 80m away in the stands.

But as an aside, to me that is not really the problem with Fisher, as good as he can be in that small forward role it looks to me like he doesn't want to be there!

Maybe it's just his way, but I think he is just not as invested in the team as he once was, it could of course be related to carrying injuries.
