Cam Zuhaar

[JimmyGadson 3,455]

We have a very Vanilla forwardline and it's obvious that the more attribute diversity you have across players in lines of the ground, the more trouble opposition have matching those players up. 

Zurhaar has immense potential and has clearly been stifled by playing in a bottom side who struggle to kick a score every week and would just about be bottom of the table for inside 50 average. (If not bottom three). 

Assessing his numbers is silly because of the above reason. Clearly he'd have more impact in a forwardline that sees more ball. 

The question is where would he fit in. 

He's a medium tall with freakish talent and goal sense. Not dissimilar to Fritsch in that sense except their competitiveness and intensity around the ball is completely different. Zurhaar suits our competitive and combative style more and I could see us getting the best out of him. He's intimidating. Frankly I'd have Zurhaar over Fritsch although I doubt the the FD would look at that. 

They're both aerial threats but Fritsch applies almost zero pressure when the ball is on the ground whereas Zurhaar at least chases and has a desire to hurt. Can you play both of them on a forwardline with one key tall though? 

That's the conundrum. 

I'd almost consider it given we'll see Gawn resting more often over the next few years. 

One thing for certain is the need to consistently update our game and list. 

I'd have a crack at him.

Is he so different to what JVR could be for us? Reckon we might just go with what we already have here.

Prefer Larkey over the Zurhaar

Reckon North would want our entire Jackson haul fr Larkey. They’d never let him go.

JVR is more like Larkey. Zurhaar is more like Fritsch. 

Last week we had a forward line that consisted of Spargo, ANB, Melksham and Bedford. T Mac was the only forward missing. This year Zurhaar will kick more than those 4 combined.

I appreciate the roles that ANB and Spargo play, but you have to weigh it up against scoreboard pressure, which they don't apply. Everyone tags Melksham as a defensive liability, but even he stood up last week. It wouldn't be difficult to get Zurhaar to buy into the importance of defensive effort.

Zurhaar would be a great get at age 25...! A real burst player with power and kicks goals. Great height to create an awkward match up against opponents. Will do some damage in the forward line and the occasional centre bounce.
