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

Old “skills” Jones, no thanks.

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.

Maybe. Need some context though. What would you give up for him Picket.

 

I can tell you one club he won't go to: Collingwood. 

Very Ordinary Player. 

Aim Higher...

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

Are we playing money ball?

i want to play flag ball

 

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

 

Most posters bagged Melksham before he joined. 

“Bombers want him gone”. “Too soft”. “Not regular player”.  

Probably the same here (jmo)

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.

Just because his brother is Nathan is no reason to recruit him. Does not suit our needs at all. 

We need skill, skill, skill!

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.

Poor decision maker and undisciplined -  not for me.

 

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.

His last chance to play with his brother who has 1 or 2 years left. 

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.
