Retired #11: David Zaharakis - Survivin'

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2021
Last Game Played: Round 19, 2021 (omit)
Injury Status: n/a

 

[Jade]

It's usually 2.6 times the amount.

Hibberd: 3 weeks (hammy) x 2.6 = 7.8 weeks
Zaka: 4 weeks (quad) x 2.6 = 10.4

"Hird expects Hille to miss between 2-4 weeks with a calf injury"

3 x 2.6 = 7.8.

Hille returned eight weeks later in the VFL.

Thats really sucks, but fingers crossed he can at least getting a couple of games in before finals.

 

[JD11]

Yeah Call Me Cake, if we lose to the Saints this week its all on you.....

 

[DonsRule]

Cake is to blame for any further Essendon losses, this year without Zaka playing due to this injury I say. That'll teach ya tp gt out hopes up

 

[Drummer_19]

I'm proud to say I was the first to post that Hird troll face pic.

therefore i win the internets

 

[The Dustbin]

Shit. Thank God we have depth to cover him.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

the way I reader it is "he tried to get back early, had a tweak and now has to sit out another 4+ rounds"

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Reckon you might be right kelvin.

 

[Mercurial89]

DO you think the club would do that though? we have been ultra cautious with every other player, to try rush him back in would have been a pretty huge risk.

 

[fishardansin]

Is a player we have no real cover for. Works in and around the stoppage and shows a bit of speed and a lot of class with ball in hand. This makes him an important link between our hardworking but not super classy inside mids and our slightly built game breaking outside mids/flankers. As has been mentioned here it is not a good time to be out with the games against Hawthorn and Geelong at Docklands. Very tough games but ones we can win considering the venue. With Watson and Stanton taking up most of the opposition's defensive planning in the midfield he is potentially a game changer. Anyhoo no point sooking bout what we can't change. Lets hope the men paid 900,000 a year can sort out a way through this!!

 

[Ambrosia]

A fit Winderlich would lessen the problem.

Genuine lols!!

Classic!

Interesting bit of info from Zaharakis.

He isn't able to do any explosive running but he has been doing a lot of 200 and 300 metre sprints.

Obviously it isn't perfect but he is certainly running so he should be in reasonable condition by the time he is right to go.

 

[Seb78]

We need this guy back in a hurry

 

[CakeButcher]

According to the AFL website he is still 3-4 weeks away.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Please come back.
