Assuming we lose Jacko and have some room in the cap, Zuhaar seems like a really good option. Exact kind of player we need. Out of contract and delayed talks until end of yr. 

Obviously this wouldn’t be direct compensation and we would need more as part of Jackson departing. Let’s not turn this into a Jackson thread.

    Would definitely improve us but a bit of an in-between type at only 189cm

    Not a KPF IMV. 

    Doesn’t need to be imo. Plays tall, great mark, explosive pace and will get much more supply at the Dees

    • Demonland changed the title to Cam Zuhaar

    He was excellent against the Tiges on the weekend. Good hands and kicks accurately. I'm sure we'd find a spot for him. He could bring Larkey with him as well

    Must admit first thing I did was check his stats after the game with a similar though, but too short and not the second coming of Dunstall, we already have a like player in Bailey Fritsch who with 6 in a GF I am comfortable with. We need a KPF and for me that is 194 plus, don't get me wrong I think he is a good player and 'nice to have' but not a 'need'. Of all the forwards going around have a big crush on Naughton, would take him over McKay, King or Curnow, never going to happen though. My second choice would be Logan McDonald but again just not likely.

    He does play a bit taller, like Toby Greene.

    Larkey is the one at North that best suits our game style. We need a big mature body that can offer us a get out of jail kick down the line option, and can bring the ball to ground for Koz and the smalls.

    We missed a trick with Levi Casboult in hindsight. He’s been terrific for the Suns, and would have filled TMac’s boots perfectly.

    Zurhaar would add some X factor to our forward line which it's lacking. He's gettable because he's out of contract. A big yes from me.

    Larkey over Zuhaar for mine. Though he’s one of North very few decent youngsters worth keeping, so no chance of getting him.

    we've been repeatedly linked with a breust or gunston move for a few years now and zurhaar would be exactly that type of player. i think theres absolutely room for him in the side as he compliments what we already have nicely and could take the place of a small or we could play with one less mid rotation like we did on the weekend by bringing in melksham for oliver.

    He only plays well when they sack the coach.

    God no, he is very average,  has one good game a year and is noticeably a lazy footballer.

    Amazing when he plays these games he is 24 in his 6th year never kicked more than 20 goals or ever aged more than 12 disposals.

    He would be another Mitch Hannan.  He is Petracca's size(3cm taller).  He should be tearing games apart week on week in the midfield!

    Prefer Aaron Cadman in the draft

    Except for 2019, 2021 and 2022. Averaging 1.8 goals a game this year, which is a 40 goal season if he plays every game.

    Fritsch is our medium forward with little defensive effort. Can’t afford another one.

    I don't watch many other games each week but I don't mind the idea.

    We have plenty of opportunistic goal kickers, not many that can create goals through physicality.

    Would have him

    My bad, was looking at the Games column not goals.

    but he is not playing every game,  so based on that he will end up with 24 goals by the end of the year.   at best he is a 30 goal a game player.  who are we moving out of our fwd line for him?

    IF, big IF, the dees believe they can get him super fit and turn him into a mid fwd, it would be great to have his type chopping Trac out in the middle.

    but i would not be happy paying $450k + for him, which is what he is going to want

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
