Who is Brad Fisher?
Bradley Fisher is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Fisher was recruited in the 2002 AFL Draft from East Burwood by the Carlton Football Club with its fifth round selection. He was the third-last player selected in that draft, with the two later selections, Karl Norman and Mick Martyn, also taken by Carlton, who had that year been stripped of early draft picks due to salary cap breaches. Fisher made his AFL debut for the Carlton Football Club in the second round of his first season, 2003, against Collingwood.
Fisher played both in the forward line and at half-forward. He was recognised as an excellent and safe one-grab overhead mark, perhaps the best at the club, and regularly took strong contested marks in forward packs. Throughout his career, however, his marking was let down by his kicking for goal, particularly due to the short range of his kicking, but also due to inaccuracy; he did improve in both of these areas through his career, but they remained weaknesses in his game. As a supporting forward, his personal best for goals in a game is four against Essendon in 2007, he remained a valuable part of the Blues' forward structure until 2008. In 2009, Fisher struggled for regular selection, playing only seven games for Carlton and spending the rest of the time at Carlton's VFL-affiliate, the Northern Bullants, including playing in the team's grand final loss. He injured his knee during the 2010 preseason, and managed only one game during the season. At the end of the 2010 season, Fisher was delisted by Carlton, after a career of 99 senior games for the club. Fisher played for the West Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League in 2011 and 2012, then for Dalyston in the Alberton Football League in 2013.
