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'

[jclei]

Is Aaron Naughton from the dogs eligible? He will likely get it over zurhaar for his 9 contested marks if he is

 

[ferball]

That’s going a bit far. Gee, we just played Carlton, not Geel or Coll.

Good point but whoever we play at least they'll make them earn it.

 

[Caracas]

This guy could/should have scored 8 goals! That’s pretty phenomenal.

never watched the game today as i had to put a roof on a shed, weather was just to good, 2 weeks behind and back to work tomorrow, so i listened to the game on the radio,he seemed to be into everything.

one thing i noticed last week however he is an excellent reader of the ball, hardly surprised he had a day out. previous calls that he would look good in the No 11 jumper make a lot a of parallels, not only was arch tough as they come, he also was a great judge of the ball.

Nah he played too many games last year

No.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Knew he’d have a breakout game this season honestly didn’t think it would be this early.

Love what he brings to the table

 

[GS WARRIORS]

Was great in the 1st quarter last week. Even better this week.

Tough as they come with some X factor. With the weight lost he's a bit quicker and can run out games now.

Great rookie pick up.

 

[Elite Master]

He can win ground balls, he's hard at the contest, he can kick goals and he can ruck! Great value from a rookie.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Could have kicked 9 to be honest.

2 Easyish misses, and in the first quarter he got caught on the wrong side 30 out and then kicked one into the legs of Brown.

 

[ferball]

I wonder how often he's gonna do this or how he'll go against good defenses.

Cos if this wasn't a flash in the pan its almost going to be too good to be true. I remember King Corey saying he could be this sort of player last year some time.

 

[tazaa]

Bet the Carlton board will have its own weekly “We Messed with The Zurrhar” award
Five snags lol

 

[Twinkletoes]

Love him and I reckon the confidence he’ll gain from today’s performance will assist his future enormously.

 

[Sideburns Ahern]

It is unprecedented to see an eligible rising star kick 5 goals in a game and not receive the nomination. Oh wait, that happened to Todd Goldstein. Yeah, nah, the nomination will go to that Bullflog with the mullet. They've been busting to give him a nod.

Bailey Williams?

Good news for you then, Aaron Naughton is ineligible. Too many games.

Couldn't put the roof on tomorrow? Sort ya s**t out son.

 

[Junk yard]

Serious mongrel in this kid, the sort you want to punch when you play against and walk taller when you play with. For all our faults this is some astute drafting.

 

[darko]

RS nomination surely.

 

[darko]

Bailey Williams?

Bailey Smith I think.

 

[Rooboys Rool]

Watched the replay of the game on Foxtel. Can honestly say I’ve never heard commentators be so apathetic about a kid kicking 5 goals. Was a great game and they couldn’t have cared less. Hope that’s not indicative of how the rest of the media treats him re the RS nomination this week. Some other little campaigner would want to have had an incredible game to pip The Zurhaar.

 

[Go_Roos!]

It will be interesting to see how Piggy performs this week against the Cats, could be a tad harder than the Blues. Keep up the good form Piggy!

 

[Groucho]

Bailey Smith I think.

He was pretty good but surely 5 goals trumps him

 

[The Warlord]

'...we obviously both went for the mark, I hit him, he went down and I've [ha!]...lucky enough, I stayed up.'

Yeah, bugger the faux 'my heart goes out to him and his family, etc.'

Zurhaar-Garner a fearsome combo, mongrel and unpredictable skills.

Unpredictable s brilliant description. Also Can needs to be given licence to shoot.

A few times this year he's been through on goal and a shot is the percentage option,but he looks to give it off.

What's the origin of the "Piggy" nickname?
