Beat me to it Fly; Cuners is a big lump of a lad and should be more than capable of spending time in the midfield each week.
Fish is on the small side for an AFL player and you wouldn’t want him in a bash and crash role.

Current betting has Saints at $1.80 and us $2. Sounds about right IMO.

They played some really good fast footy last week against a fair side while we bumbled our way through against average at best opposition. That plus we don't play that well at Marvel and they do. Still, things have to change one day maybe tonight it all starts?

Fisher the same height as Neale, just 10kg lighter! Well we don't have to highlight how "relatively soft" Fisher and Cuningham are compared to Joel Selwood just to prove my point! ;D
But seriously, guys like Fisher and Cuningham will fatigue very quickly if they have to compete week in and week out with players of the likes of a Cripps, Fyfe, Bontempelli, Dangerfield, Martin, etc., etc..
When we already lack run and spread, why would we wish Fisher and Cuningham further inside punishment which only takes the run out of their legs? It's as silly as fans wanting sMurph to play as an inside bullocking midfielder.

Um no, the Selwood analogy simply shows that Cuners could play a largely full time inside role (well as much as Selwood).
After all, he's also quicker than Selwood by a margin. Selwood's almost clocked up 300 games - decent longevity?
(btw, Cuners has 2cm and a few kg on Selwood)
Fisher's a lightweight midget, mostly outside is obviously the role for him.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Fisher played inside at U18 level and played WAFL @61kg......
Brent Harvey 172cm 75kg......if you are good enough you can make it, agree its harder but Fisher has the talent as long as he gets the support from his bigger team-mates. Problem we have its not the most vigorous or hard hitting team that Fisher plays for...Harvey had Archer, Carey, Martyn, Pickett, Pike, Mooney, Stevens and King down at Nth doing the heavy lifting while he supplied the creative silk.

With all due respect EB, Fisher's only role is outside at AFL level. He would be rag dolled inside and would frankly fill his shorts if he had to put his nose over it time and time again. What role he played at Schoolboy or U18 means jack now. Some kids thrive at AFL level (ie Rowell) in the contest, others? Well, Fish is an example of "others".

Looks like Fisher's a late out by the way.
