How could a club that booted Angwin for taking drugs even consider taking on the guy that most likely sold him the stuff....

FFS learn from the mistakes of Richmond and Essendon...

There is one thing Zantuck could bring to CFC and it is something we surely miss. Since the likes of Fraser Brown, Hickmott and Hulme were retired/delisted we have lacked serious in your face agression. Once upon a time we were the most feared and tough team in the AFL, now due to our relative youth we are weak in comparitive terms to others. We are reaching a point where we are going to climb, but the kids will get bullied and pushed around by more seasoned opposition. Zantuck is a nut, if he can bring that aggression to the team it will give the young guys a real boost. All Premierships sides have enforcers, at the moment we have no one who fits this mould.
I'm not saying jump in a draft him, but what I am saying is to take a look and assess what he can be used for.
With likes of Ratten and Bradley at the club the leadership may be there to turn this guy around.
Remember he came from Richmond (very little culture and leadership before Wallace) and then spent a year at Essendon (you have to be a Sheedy yes man to survive there) before going to QLD.
We could do worse with a second round PSD!
 
How talented is the guy? Most talk has been of him being a nutter...but people do grow up and if he's on a one year contract with some tight clauses regarding behaviour he should be managable...if not...we take an extra pick next year.

I do like the idea of having an enforcer type in the midfield...can't really think of any really tough mid-size players we have that people would be scared enough of to pull out of a game of chicken with...maybe Wiggins???

I would probably be leaning towards a Skipworth type for some midfield depth or just redrafting Davies at this stage if we were recruiting mature-age midfielders.

But how good is he? Any Tigers supporters?
 
We need recycled hacks to toughen up our defences.

This is a perfect indication of more Pagan cyncism ala Micky Martin. I smells like 'oh yeah Dennis missed out on rehabbing and recruiting Gardener, so he'll prolly be able to do it with Zantuck'..Yeah right.
