Zac Fisher (born 15 June 1998) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was drafted by the Carlton Football Club with their second selection and twenty-seventh overall in the 2016 national draft.[1] He made his debut in the twenty-six point loss against Gold Coast at Etihad Stadium in round four of the 2017 season.[2]

During the 2016 Under-18 Championships, Fisher averaged 21 disposals, three marks and five tackles over his four games. These performances gained him selection in the All Australian Team as well as the Western Australian Most Valuable Player Award. [3]

Western Australian Talent Manager Adam Jones commented on Fisher's ability prior to the 2016 National Draft, saying, "He's a terrific kid. He's high energy, really enthusiastic and a really good person to have in your team. He brings guys together. He's an exceptionally smart player and really sharp around the stoppages. He's a natural reader of the play, clean with his hands and quite skilful. He's played a lot of league footy this year and did really well for a kid his size. As he steps up he'll have to put on some size and improve his fitness, but he's had a terrific year and he's only going to get better." [4]
