If a player runs into him, you're ok.
If a player is running away from him, wave goodbye.
He reminds me of a few good VFL players like Adam Bentick that can't make the step up to the big leagues work due to lack of physical attributes.
His contribution is likely to be better than Fisher's. No point in having terrific leg speed if you can't tackle and/or get the aggot. His tackles stick, and hits the scoreboard. Deserves a go.

Been plenty of terrific footballers over the journey with average leg speed.

Also can't kick it very far either. He's an honest trier who can't do much. It's like owies with less tricks.

I beg to differ Thry.
Fogarty is a midfielder who can go forward. He’s good in traffic and generally manages to get his kick away and hit a target. He may not be as effective a forward as Owies but he has a more expansive bag of tricks. Owies reads the play well, makes good position and generally finishes well. Fogarty wins his own ball and creates opportunities for his teammates.
I think that Fogarty would take Fish’s spot if any. We would lose some speed but Fish didn’t put his jets to good use on Thursday.

Horses for courses...Stkilda are playing the old Freo footy, you need contested players who can stick and break tackles.
If you are playing Port or the Pies etc you need running power...

agree to disagree DJC.
Fogarty is a player i think won't get very far and who's best just simply isn't good enough.
I'd you want a body that can go forward and plays committed footy, Carroll has him covered and he needs to do more.
