He's been a genuine A grader for 2 years now he's just been getting serious injuries in the second half of the last two years.

He's over whatever was troubling him in May.

Zaka won a BF and was heading for A grade status when injury cursed the last two seasons..

He has A grade potential and we are seeing that now.. *could* jump into the very top echelon of players in the league if he continues to work and stays injury free.

Who was the last Essendon player who got 30+ disposals in 4 consecutive games?

Bomber said that they were working with Zaka on some other parts of his game - possibly defensive aspects - that took away his dash for a bit.
 
If we had won on the back of those two goals he kicked on the weekend, they would have been easily the second best highlight of his career.
So which ANZAC Day are you excluding, 2013 or 2009?

Know that it hasn't really been put in issue but I think that Melbourne performance was better than ANZAC Day 2013 because of his intensity and the back to the wall situation.

I agree. I was at the game and he single handedly gave us a shot at winning. We need more statements like that every quarter of every game from various players.

Or just Zaka is fine if he does it every week.

It was great to see someone lead from the front when the game was willing in the absence of Jobe. Hopefully it becomes a regular occurrence.
