He is genuinly liked amongst the playing group and sets a standard on how to train and behave.
I'd take a 4th.Package him with our 3rd, see if anyone is willing to part with a 2nd
He sets the standard on how we train? Well we've found the problem.On paper he should be gone, but it aint so simple. He is genuinly liked amongst the playing group and sets a standard on how to train and behave. (but not necessarily on how we want to play). What is more important....to keep a level of happiness and justice within the playing group or to remove that concept and get what we can get for him, ignoring the human cost? We have have experienced this problem before with Blumfield, Hardwick, Caracella and a few more that ripped the heart out of the club at the time. (Salary cap issues) Would Zaka be the type like a Myers/Baguley/Dea/Hocking type to play reserves and only be called upon due injury? I don't think he would, but i most likely would be wrong.
Like it or not its the a truth. Plenty of players set the training track on fire but struggle game day. Its not a unique concept.He sets the standard on how we train? Well we've found the problem.
When Hardwick Caracella left it did rip the heart out of the club, and it never got it back. Getting rid of Zaharakis wouldnt have any negative impact at all.
He's not without heart this guy.

That's not the way we treat our Champions at EssendonJarryd Roughthead is well liked by the Hawks players and by reports trains and behaves as the Hawks would like yet he isn't being gifted games.
I understand the sentiment as I like Zaka as a person but he isn't playing best 22 standard or if he has to be played then play him deep forward and send Fantasia off to get his injury looked after.
A lot can change in 5 years mate...Perhaps we could play him in the right position for a few games before discard him. I still remember Ess vs Melb 2014. He's not without heart this guy.
Who’s worse Zaharakis or Langford
But not our fortunesA lot can change in 5 years mate...
or any middling player really....That's not the way we treat our Champions at Essendon

29 and his legs are gone. Wonder if it has anything to do with playing half his career on the Etihad surface.
GPS has him as covering more turf than anyone for both sides last night, and the most at high speed as well.
He looks like he’s running in quicksand on TV but if you watch him live he’s always on the move and working his arse off to provide an option when we’re trying to move the ball. I’ve got no issues with his form.
The use of him is genuinely mystifying, if you want to bag out Worsfold for questionable moves putting Zaharakis behind the ball would be right at the pointy end.
