EDEN ZANKER (Vic Country) 

What kind of player is she?

A key 182cm forward who is rarely beaten when marking on the lead or overhead.

All-Australian selector Kate Sheahan’s take 

“Her capacity to mark the ball at the highest point is going to be a really difficult challenge for young defenders to spoil. She kicked the most goals at the carnival as a straight lead up forward. She probably needs to work on her versatility at ground level.”

What team would she fit into and why? 

Again, it’s Collingwood. The Magpies have a small forward line and could really do with a key position player. Having said that, Zanker will also be on the Western Bulldogs’ radar. When Katie Brennan was injured the Bulldogs looked rudderless up forward.

    Looking at the stage shot of the top 8, and she really stands out with her size, apart from the Adelaide giant. First glance at the Crow, and I thought they let that dude nominate after all.

    Will be nice to see these girls develop.

    The season can't come soon enough. I was one of the converted 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?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
