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!!!

    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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
