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'

[Ball Dont Lie]

By next year Cam will be our most dangerous weapon. Power. Pure power.

 

[koshari]

Any footage of that? I missed it.

Dont have a link but he basically hit hurley with a flush and fair hip and shoulder whilst hutley had his arm laterally extended. The impact of the bump was such that it leveraged a huge bit of whiplash on the arm.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Becoming part of our absolute best. He's a beast, did some insanely good things tonight.

 

[Roosurgence]

Speed, power, aggression and skill.

Becoming an absolute weapon.

You can clearly see he knows he belongs and is starting to get the swagger of a player who knows he is good.

 

[Roosurgence]

This bloke is quick, skillful, aggressive and a pure campaigner on the field.

I can’t see many backman relishing the opportunity to play on Cam going forward.

If he doesn’t get you when he has the ball, he is going to nail you when he doesn’t have it.

Don’t be surprised if clubs are making enquiries. Let’s hope the club doesn’t turn this into another Greenwood fiasco? Lock him away, we have the coin.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

FFS sort his contract now. Tonight!

He is contracted for next year

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Hopefully with another pre-season under his belt we’ll be able to throw him into the midfield mix for a 3-4 centre square contests per game.

Could be a real point of difference in there like De Goey at Collingwood or Greene at GWS.

Counting the days until we have a few pre-seasons into LDU/TT/Zurhaar/Larkey/Taylor/Crocker.

Luke and Jy's improvement will have a massive effect on the other mids. Massive.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Luke and Jy's improvement will have a massive effect on the other mids. Massive.

Still need a burst mid for mine, but we'll see what happens come the next draft or two.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Smoky to be our best player in time.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Hopefully with another pre-season under his belt we’ll be able to throw him into the midfield mix for a 3-4 centre square contests per game.

Totally. He wants it too, which means he will make it happen. He's that kind of bloke.

 

[KillaKanga]

Would he be a chance for Top 5 in the Syd?

Yesterday, 2 bags of 5 and the 11 tackles games would garner a lot of votes/points.

That goal after the siren from deep was captainesque.

 

[dwog25]

give this kid another 2 pre seasons to build his tank and get him into the midfield mix ala de goey style. For such a bloke kid his burst speed and power is unreal and would be amazing to watch. couple of short bursts in the centre square and watch out. his set shots are good and snaps need some work but him, tt, larkey, jy are starting to build

 

[LB2Snake]

Anyone got video of the Hurley hit. I luv the big Z.

 

[Falkroo]

While clearly not the physical specimen, I just can't can't get the Zurhaar/Micky Conlan comparison out of my head, both with explosive pace when needed, the arching of the back at full speed to evade would be tacklers, flailing arms and legs at full speed, powerful line breakers and not to mention both with effective but ungainly looking goal kicking actions.

 

[nelroo]

Counting the days until we have a few pre-seasons into LDU/TT/Zurhaar/Larkey/Taylor/Crocker.

Add Scott

 

[nelroo]

We need a clone of him.. in the midfield..

 

[rickety]

We need a clone of him.. in the midfield..

Or Homers magic hammock

 

[The Warlord]

Ended Hurley's season and almost ended poor bloody Liam Jones' career.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

He genuinely reminds me of a young Glenn Archer. Exciting times ahead!

 

[Tectonic]

Captainesque.

Yep, bright future for the guy, leadership and toughness in spades.

Just needs to get a tiny bit more burst or speed and he'll put the league on notice.

How on Earth did he slip to the rookie draft?

 

[The Warlord]

His fend off is already winning the bronze behind Dusty and Cunners.

 

[sbdan]

There's a player! Micky was ripped, but was more about speed than hitting them hard.

Zurhaar reminds me more of archer, the way he runs through the contest.

 

[The Warlord]

Hopefully Cam isn't using the same training methods as Conlon was alleged to have.
