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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
