3. Zac Fisher
Fisher could be another good option to steal from Carlton as he demands more playing time in the midfield, with the Blues unable to meet those demands.
Multiple clubs are believed to have an eye on Fisher, with a move across the city potentially on the cards instead of a switch back to his home state of Western Australia.
The 25-year-old ticked over the 100-game milestone this year but has missed some games due to injury and form. This season, he has averaged career-best figures with 19.3 disposals (elite), 3.6 marks (above average) and 1.2 tackles (below average). His ability to find the ball both on the ground and uncontested has also been a standout.
In terms of possessions, Fisher averages four 'ground ball gets', 14.2 uncontested possessions and 5.3 contested touches per game. However, in comparison to other years, he is more than capable of being involved.
With a playstyle like this, Fisher could be a top player at Arden Street as a young asset with experience that would excite the North Melbourne office.
Fisher is contracted to the Blues until 2025 but is said to be exploring his options.
