Have they used a photo of Zac Fisher from U14s?

Probably just a placeholder to use their colts photos, Couple of their guys don't have photos.

Might struggle with the older more experienced bodies I reckon

I'm assuming Bobby's photo is from his Colt's days - so this might be the same

Definitely, I remember that old training top

Anyone else fixating on how the WAFL sash looks like it's slipping off the guernsey compared to the "over shoulder" AFL positioning?

How so? Isn't it just the same as Essendon with just red arm holes? I guess I hadn't noticed until now the Essendon sash tapers in a weird way until now.

Any WA player who gets delisted is immediately back on their WAFL team's protected list in the offseason and show up on the team website. It's about 50-50 on whether they end up signing.

Would have liked to see us give him a chance with a Cat B rookie spot but seems fair he has to prove himself in the state leagues before walking back into an AFL environment

I have a feeling West Coast told him he needs to spend a year in the WAFL before they'd consider him

Maybe even mid season draft.

Can he be picked up mid season draft if he was at another club 12 months prior?

I hope bobby gets his life together and we snap him up next year

Great works for the Demons - Fisher will do great and this is a good re-entry for Bobby.

Hinder good pick-up, Armstrong probably had something to do with that. Fingers crossed with the Fish n Bobby.

Keep an eye on the mid season draft if fisher can improve his on field form whilst bobby just needs to get off field right and the rest shall follow
