He's the type of player we need, but there are way better options out there for that type of player. If he wants to play for us, and he's the brother of our captain, and he's the type of player we need, then that tips the scales somewhat. Other than that…meh.

    He’s exactly what we don’t need. 

    Posted at the same time - I love how different views on here can be. Unless someone is a star I’m probably guilty of writing them off too soon. When I think of Zak I just see a butcher. See ball, get ball, kick ball (to anyone).

    He’s worth a first round / second round to the Swans and a second / third round to another club

    If he’s leaving the Swans he’ll have a share of suitors

    As others have said, he’s a classic nqr / good ordinary player

    Zac is a good NQR player or as Jack Dyer would have said, a good ordinary footballer. Not a criticism.Would not want to give up too much for him.

    Nhmm he has TWO  clear characteristics many of our players lack!!

    PACE and old fashioned Gristle and Grunt, Mongrel. A healthy dash of what we like to see more of!!!

    Bitters help me out here!!

    GO GET HIM

    Heard from someone who claimed to have a very good source that he has already committed to Saints. 

    For all I know that source could be the X of X's X's X X X.... When I said that to him he got very adamant. As most people do with such an impeccable source. 

    He has a very Saints player look about him. I could just imagine him slotting in well there. They’re a team full of blue-collar type players.

    He'll have to change his name to Jak Zones if he's going to St Kilda

    I can understand the temptation given he probably only has a one to two year window to play alongside his brother.

    In fairness Nathan did the same thing early in his career.

    I wanted him a couple of years ago but I think we've gone past that point of needing him.    And we now have to set our sights and cheque book numbers...  higher than Zac.

    And Zac hasn't come along, as well as i imagined he could.

    Does it improve our list? Is he a better option than who we’ve been playing in a wing? See Billy Stretch, JKH, his brother. If so, get him in at the right price.

    Surprised at the hard negativity in this thread. He would’ve been leading the Swans BnF before injury this year. He has pace and aggression and would be an upgrade on most of our list. He also has versatility. Yes from me if we land him for a second round pick.

    Lewis retired,  Jones almost done.  Jetta, Hibberd and Garlett about hit 30.  Vandenberg likely done for good with his foot.   KK ongoing concussion concerns. Plus another bunch of players who arent up to AFl standard and likely to be delisted.

    Would gladly take Zak at the right price.    We do need to field a team in 2020 and the kid can play, despite his flaws.

    Swans were keen on Vandenberg last year. They can have him and his busted foot for Jones. Vandenberg might be the better player, but he is not doing us much good sitting in the stands each week.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
