Player Watch #44: Cameron Zurhaar - [AFL.com] NM offers 5yr deal - CZ interest from SYD/GC - CZ mgr says 'wants to see improvement' & 'team success'

[ChoppyGun]

One of the two best Stewart Andersons to play for us.

Stewart?

 

[Snake_Baker]

Good tonight.

I reckon he's just starting to to build in to some match winning bursts now. If you have watched enough footy, you can see it just starting to bubble below the surface.

44 games under his belt now & turns 23 next year.

I agree with Kingy, he adds some more muscle and look out.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Stewart?

It only works when you say it out loud

 

[SammyRoo]

Love the guy

but......

In a season of ordinary performers, he was pretty disappointing. At 22 he has time, but take a look at some of the guys about to be de-listed as what happens if you can’t go to the next level as a mid-forward.

enjoy a break Cam, big pre-season, work hard and rip them a new one in 2021.

Wasn't "Stuart" great on the dance floor? Amongst other things...........

I hear it was the other things that led to him leaving Melbourne.

If you look at Papley its not until he was 23 yrs old before he started turning it on consistently, if Z works on his endurance he could become a 40+ goal per season forward in the next couple of years.

 

[GreatBradScott]

Our collective ball use/decision making is poor in transition or sometimes the tempo is too slow.

Regardless, we are not moving the ball fast/accurately enough forward to use his key skills - marking 1v1s or having space to crumb and break away.

He is also still developing and will be fine, but we gotta get this guy one out, if he isn't roaming the middle (which he wil get better at).

 

[Roosurgence]

He has the potential to be a DeGoey type. He just needs to have a massive preseason and lift his consistency.

Goes missing too often.

 

[Fish Sticks]

Congratulations to Z for winning our goal kicking with 18 goals for the season.

Equal lowest return ever for a North Leading goal kicker...matching the 1937 Leading goal kicker Stewart Anderson.

Zurharr seriously won our goal kicking!? With 18!?
I know it’s a shortened season, shortened games, but wow! That sums up our season right there...

It a good point.

Also Petracca ? Has taken him 5 seasons/24yrs old & laying off the protein builders to get his s**t together.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Needs to seriously lift next season, become fitter, put on more muscle and show more forward presence. Needs to try and go for 40 goals for the year.

 

[benbanjo]

Leading Goalkicker at 22 fantastic, oh wait 18 goals lol.

Anyway like the bloke hope he comes out next year and smashed it!

Yeah that body type needs endurance ‘trained’ into it over a number of preseasons.
Once conditioned and coupled with the natural core strength then they become bloody powerful players..

I think he's been a bit down this year but that's not that bad a return. Shorter games and 5 less of them puts that around the 25-30 goal mark which is actually a pretty good return for a player in his position.

 

[Mute Point]

Hope he really wants it bad enough that he's prepared to make the sacrifices & do everything required to take him to the next level. Has it in him, just up to him if he wants to be elite or just another player

Pre season with LMac

Doesn't do enough.

Has very short periods of impact interspersed with loooong periods of nothingness.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Averaging better than a goal a game in a team that collectively kicked about 4 each week is being undersold I think.

We're reaching new heights of football illiteracy, folks.

 

[LB2Snake]

I reckon he played with a back issue for about half the year. Looked a bit more comfortable running etc last night.
