Player Watch #44: Cameron Zurhaar - [AFL.com] NM offers 5yr deal - CZ interest from SYD/GC - CZ mgr says 'wants to see improvement' - out vs GEEL (calf)

[Psicosis]

We have a genuine lack of good forward pocket options - Zurhaar could easily take Turners position in 2019

You make it sound like Cameron is a meat 'n potatoes plodder though. His explosive gamestyle and ability to find the goals from early in his career, hell even kick goals under pressure makes him an enticing prospect if he gets it together.

Walker is a promising talent too but wouldn't think he makes Zurhaar look 2nd rate by comparison.

As i said, i think CZ plays a role for us. But I’ll happily stick my neck out and say WW will become a very very good footballer. A Toby Greene without the Toby Greene personality traits.

I know who has the bigger upside (in my mind at least)

 

[Heaps of fun]

Still a lot of question marks over Cam. For someone that finds so little of the ball he can really butcher it.

Might have felt different if he'd nailed those two set shots. Didn't do enough to force his way into round 1 considerations for me though.

Coming from a long way back again with the lack of preseason

Coming from a long way back again with the lack of preseason

Which isn't ideal for Cam. Really needed to hit the ground running this year.

 

[ozzyoslo]

Must learn to throw the ball better or conceal better anyway.....shocking decision and that umpire should be whipped with the cane of nine tails.

I thought this preseason he should be given a more of an opportunity to show his wears but Scotty isnt into developing those outside the best 24 or so quicker, back to the VFL route you go Cameron.

He might be going WA bound come end of the season I think.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Had a howler for the first 3 quarters, but bounced back late.

Effort is good, but he's not best 22 yet.

A bit harsh considering he didn’t get on the ground until the 3rd quarter.

 

[Snake_Baker]

He was on before that, but I agree his GT was down a lot.

He's still not best 22, which his GT would suggest.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Yeah, I thought he was only activated in the third quarter. Happy (or unhappy) to be proven wrong.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Could tell when he's switched on or not, similar to Jy in how easy you can tell. In this case he wasn't until he started making things happen late.

He's definitely not best 22 but he's just outside of it considering others.

 

[Heaps of fun]

I think his TOG was 0% at half time.

What would you know? Can you even footy analyse?

He's coming off a limited pre-season mate. Going the early crow here?

If that's synonymous with bullshitting then, yes.

Quite possibly...

Hmm.

Hmm.

I missed the first half as I was out, checked stats before I switched on and his statline was 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

 

[Luke72]

I wonder if losing the weight was the best thing considering his style of play. I have faith that he’ll be back to his best with a couple more games under his belt but busting into packs at 85kg has to be better than goin in at 75kg.

He didn't come onto till the 3rd qtr.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

.... yes. Thats what I was proving

 

[Passmore]

He’s got ability but he’d need a plague to sweep through Arden St to get a game in Rd1.

He’d almost have been better off at Craigieburn today.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Hope he gets more of an extended run as a genuine mid at VFL level, even if it is as a tagger.

Get his K’s up and get him involved a bit more.

At his best he is very damaging.

 

[Groucho]

26% TOG. Have to cut him some slack
