Garnering a reputation in his early seasons for his ability to weave in and out of midfield traffic, Zac Fisher embraced a small forward role in the second half of the 2020 season. With four goals in his return game against West Coast, Fisher’s capacity to make something happen when the ball is in his vicinity – either through his skill or forward pressure – will be a key asset in Carlton’s attacking mix this season. The ‘Slippery Fish’, who re-signed at Carlton until at least the end of 2023, has been nominated by teammates as one of the standout trainers of pre-season.

The No.10 pick in the 2021 NAB AFLW Draft came to Carlton with calmness and elegance a feature of her game. The half back flanker grew in confidence with every game she played for the Game Changers this summer, with the classy ball user primed to set the league alight this August. With the support of captain Kerryn Harrington and three-time All-Australian Gab Pound around her, Annie Lee is sure to be yet another asset to Carlton’s defence for the future.
