Send him in for surgery.

Come on guys you don't even know what's wrong with him yet.

His shoulder and collarbone was damaged by Hayden at training just prior to the * game.

Maybe we should try Hayden at FF since he's already playing the Drew Petrie role at training then.

Not called the Hadron Collider for no reason.

Just pull the plug. He's requiring injections, is clearly a bit laboured, and now we're even admitting he's a 50/50 prospect. If he tries to play through it much more I'm guessing he's about equal odds of doing real damage to either his shoulder or his confidence. Put him to pasture while he's still in good form, do what needs to be done to get the area right, and let him attack the off and pre seasons without anything holding him back.

We literally have a comparable player in Ford chomping at the bit to get his own shot. Not sure what we have to lose.

nothing

An underratedly consistent streak of consecutive games with a goal for CZ

He picked the wrong bloke. Hayden looks like a rock would give easier.

Poor expression on my part. I only knew it was a contest between the two and one came off worse.

Totally agree.

Put him on ice for the rest of the season and get his shoulder 100 percent right before preseason.

We should be doing the same for any other players carrying niggles.

doesn't matter, cut him down..........i mean open.

Dominant display. Didn’t have enough partners up forward. Him staying health and fit will be the key to our success in years to come.

 

[KillaKanga]

Have to go back to April since CZ had a goalless game.

Coupla 4s in there too

24 with 7 marks and 2 goals was great, but I’m surprised he hasn’t had one or two games like Souv a few weeks ago where he just destroyed the opposition. Has kicked 5 twice and 4 multiple times, but would love to see him close the season with a real big bag of goals (with some of his massive tackles thrown in too).

 

[Devington]

Week off looked to do the trick! Was back to near his best which was very encouraging.

Eagles was that game, with 8 scoring shots. Could have easily been 6 goals or more.

Yep week off smash Adelaide

 

[Krakoueraddict]

If Z is kicking multiple goals with regularity as a psudeo 2nd tall, how's he gonna go as a genuine 3rd option with Souv and Chom taking defenders 1 and 2? So good that he's very comfortable at ground level because he's going to worry a lot of players that are big enough to challenge him in the air.

[LuvtheKangas]

He's really matured this year. Great to see.

 

[Themanbun]

Calling it now - AA squad next year.

 

[Yianni]

Did everyone hear Brereton finally twig after Zurhaar slotted goal from 50m/60 degrees out - “Boy, he’s more than just a bull at a gate!”

This is Australian sports commentary summed up. ‘Experts’ (in footy, obvs not commentary) so attached to a cliché (‘boy Ben Brown
