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.

  • Quote

    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

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
