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)

[Snake_Baker]

He’s gone from tough to weak

He's not fit and he's certainly not up to these tactics.

He also had a solitary 1 contested possession vs Port in 86% game time.

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

Good sizzle, pity about the sausage.

 

[bennymate]

Does he have any hope back there? Could it work?

 

[Roosurgence]

Bloke has the AFL IQ of a potato.

Has a lot of the Jack Ziebells about him, ignore the best option to hack it long to no one or a contest where we are outnumbered.

Needs a spell to burst his big head.

 

[Snake_Baker]

The "Bull" has 7 contested possessions in 3 games of football.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Unfortunately he’s a dud

 

[Shinboner1]

Really needs to pull his socks up.
Still riding the wave of success from his run in 2019

Its all about instagram now. Look at those *in boots FFS!

 

[viccles]

Can him and Larkey both cut their hair? I feel like both went downhill since growing mullets

at the moment. I liked the move to spare man in defence to get him more involved.

Wish.com Jake Stringer at the moment. I liked the move to spare man in defence to get him more involved.

Ouch... probably the harshest thing I’ve ever heard said about one of our players.

 

[Snake_Baker]

He's got ~40 games of footy to salvage an AFL career.

He's got ~40 games of footy to salvage an AFL career.

From what I've seen over the last 12 months - 50/50 at best he will make it.

This is going to be an interesting one to watch. Does he keep starting forward? And then drop into midfield or defence when he can't get into the game as a forward? How many times will he be made to watch that bit of play where he marked the ball tight in the pocket and turned his back on a free Charlie Lazarro? If we bring in a second tall like Xerri it will, hopefully anyway, straighten up our forward line and take a bit of pressure off Larkey and Zurhaar (in theory at least).

 

[ozzyoslo]

Drop him, needs a rocket, right up his ar$ehole.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Just keep him deep forward out of the goal square to give us a target to kick to

1 of him or Larkey need to always be in the forward 50 at all times

We look better with both of them out of the forwardline tbh.

 

[Bowski]

Ol' sweaty pig Ling had a good little sound bite regarding Zurhaar on the radio during the game.

Paraphrasing but essentially he said that Z has all the tools except for the football brain, is a little too obsessed with the idea of "I crash packs and hurt blokes" and not the game of football as a whole.

 

[Swallow_Wood]

He looked good behind the ball against the Dogs.

I don't mind the idea of using him down there in patches as his ball use is really good and he attacks the contest with intent. It's also a really good way to get him into the game, good for his confidence to feel the leather in his hands.

 

[DuckYeah]

Cant just have everyone behind the ball wtf is this place turning too? GO OUT AND WIN THE BALL YOU *IN PUSSY, AND CHANGE THOSE BOOTS YA FLOG

 

[Themanbun]

As much as he looked good behind the ball...so do almost all of our other forwards. At some point we need forwards who can find the pill and kick goals.

No doubt.

Shame about 666 otherwise we could have followed Buddha Hocking's lead when he was coaching Peel:

Buddha's Tactics

Anyone else see this on channel 10 sport? :D He threw all 18 players into the defensive 50 leaving the opposition on their own in the centre square during a WAFL game (or was it colts?)

Absolutely has been drinking his own bathwater.

Spends all game:
1. mouthing off
2. cheap shot little hits
3. Flying from the stands for a mark;

rather than focus on just getting the *en ball and helping his teammates.

His total inability to impact a contest stands out horribly for a so-called "bull" like player.

I don't want to see another interview from him until he starts delivering.
