First tell me what his role is.

Last I checked, defensive forward when we go forward, and when there's a turnover he's rolling off to pick up the fat-side winger so that the defender can get back without leaving a loose man. Pretty sure that's been discussed in here for a few weeks now.

Damn Zacka blocked me on Instagram today

Getting his 20 touches as a defensive forward after the dark times. If you're a wolf at the Zaka door you might need a different door for a few weeks.

Massive congrats on 150 Big Footy pages Zaka.

Aaron Francis is on 304, just saying.

That's the defensive pressure that he's known for...

All I said was say that perhaps footy players are in a position to combat Australia’s gambling culture...

At least he didn't reply with "betcha they're not"!

Becomes our leading goal kicker. Gets injured.

Let’s be honest would of done * all next week anyway

 

[Howard Moon]

Interesting to see how they keep him in the side next week!

Prosthetics?

 

[HirdyLannister]

Well we all get our wish, let's see how we perform without him.

Metal. Legs.

Metal. Legs.

Metal arms are still better

 

[Darealrath]

The composure to still celebrate the goal.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Can't knock his ability to finish, confidence plays a big part.

 

[MiguelM]

so how many weeks is he out?

Stanton a close secondView attachment 930683

Bullshit.

The level of derision of Stanton by portions of the Essendon fan base is embarassing. Would have played 250 for just about any club that drafted him.

That’s your opinion and it’s completely unfounded.

Zachas tv training looks to be going well, happy smiling face at the end of recent games when interviewed & last night nailed it with an injury to boot!

 

[Darealrath]

That’s your opinion and it’s completely unfounded.

Stanton is equal 233rd all time in Brownlow votes, including 14 3 vote games. The latter is the same as Lloyd, Daicos, Beams, Goodwin, Rehn, Ling, Jakovich, Montagna, Quinlan, Round amongst others. In good company.

 

[TheGrizz]

That’s your opinion and it’s completely unfounded.

My opinion is unfounded? You declared him the 2nd most underwhelming 200 game player for Essendon.

This is despite the fact he is 15th all time in Brownlow votes foe Essendon, beating out the likes of Michael Long, Jason Johnson, Mark Mercuri and Terry Daniher.

 

[eth-dog]

That’s your opinion and it’s completely unfounded.

Because it disagrees with yours Mr. Tough Skin, right?

How about the opinion of a former recruiter at two different club saying "I know a number of clubs who chased himthroughout his career, including us, but he's rusted on at Essendon"?

The including us was whilst he was at a top 4 club.

 

[Howard Moon]

I'd say it's virtually impossible to be an underwhelming 200 game player

The 2 can't go together.

Although agree the term underwhelming is an opinion not a fact so it's subjective.

The sport is too cut throat to keep anyone for over 200 games (a decade) if they didn't offer something
